Thanks, Bob. I've a few different coils with appropriate date codes for my car. Is there a way to test the different coils with a DMM to tell which might be hotter? Do you have examples of the two different '64 coils you could run meter tests on to see? I'm also curious where the hotter coil info is documented.
best regards, Shaun

    1) Did turbo cars have a different (hotter) coil?

  Hi Shaun,
  Answer is yes and no. The 1962-64 turbos did indeed have a hotter coil. In fact this is the hottest Corvair coil available. Hotter than the Pertronix Flamethrower I. But no, in that the 1965 and 66 turbo coils were the same as the regular cars and while hot, not so much as the earlier turbo coils.
