BTW - there are after market coils. As long as you know the resistance range, you can get a generic one.

For my ol' 76 KZ twin, I go to Z1 Enterprises.

If your serious about getting the old girl running, try to find a shop manual. Once you start moving the base plate to adjust gap and timing, it's really nice to have.

Ignition on old bikes is pretty straight forward. However, depending on the bike, it can be a real PITA to work on and keep in spec. I had an old Husky 360 that needed constant adjustment.
