What's the verdict?

Is there any other suitable coils to replace the OEM one that don't cost $200?

Old Holdens would be GT40R

I would like the wrong info in this thread to stop for the sake of people searching in the future, whether it works for you or not GT40 of any kind is wrong for any electronic ignition Suzuki

I'm currently replacing my ignition for not knowing it's history more than anything.

What high output coil would you recomend for a 1.3L sierra?

Is there any specific rotor button, cap, plugs that I should be looking for or will generic bursons/repco stuff suffice??

I assume if I earth the coil and dizzy properly as well as make sure power supply is good, I can't do much more without spending big $$ ?

OEM coil, mega bucks, after market, you decide, well less than half.

if you have to replace it, jsut get a bosch transformer, MEC716 I think they are (or 717 whichever has the right end for the HT lead)

there are no stupid questions,
just stupid people.

thats where i come in with a noob question to do with coils.....i'm currently hooking up a aftermarket tacho on my 1lt....how do I know which one the negative terminal is on my coil??? its not labelled............

[royce]

it will be look harder

but on a 1 litre youll have one wire going into teh loom and one going to the dizzy, the one going to the dizzy is the negative

Here's a question thats on topic, but a newer model Zook, didnt want to start a separate thread on the same topic...

GV ignition systems, i think GV's have coil packs, i know Zook
coils are good, but is there another option other than OEM ?
Does opening up the spark gap work on GV's, or does it create problems ?
Would putting on better silicon HT leads be of any benefit for a GV ?

Time to pull the hood and take a look - see any HT leads under there?

There are no HT leads because the coil pack sits directly over the plug, and sticking with the OEM coil packs or a direct replacement is a very good idea - these coil packs are a little more than just an ignition coil, they also have the "ignitor" transistor built into them - use the wrong coil pack and you can either fry the coil pack, the ECU or both.
