Any recommendations on a coil for a 72 240Z? Just replaced the plugs (Bosch Platinums), points, condenser, distributor cap and rotor (Bosch) and replaced the plug wires with Taylor 8.2mm Pro's. Is the standard coil good enough for that or should I look for a replacement i.e Mallory, Flame Thrower etc.?

Thanks!

I don't think you'll want to go more "aggressive" than stock with the coil if you still have points. The lower resistance of the coil will not do well with mechanical points. I'd strongly suggest you consider upgrading to an electronic ignition. There are lot's of choices out there based on how much/little you want to spend, how electrically inclined you are, and how stock you want your car to appear.

For a mostly stock appearance, the Pertronix approach is quite good and easy to install. You can upgrade with one of their coils at the same time. I did that 3 years ago and haven't touched it since.

Or you can go with a later 280ZX distributor and module, or with products from MSD or Crane, etc. Search the archives here, this topic comes up a lot.

Good luck!
