Default New Coil

I'm thinking about getting the Magneti Marelli Group A coil, but I can't find any specs on it.

E.G, Primary Resistance, Maximum Voltage, Secondary Resistance, Peak Current.

I'm wondering if i'd be just as well, or better off, getting something like one of those little Mallory Promaster E coils.

...or maybe one of you has a better suggestion?

Also, would something like this be compatible:

Hey, Jan...what is the "tacho adapter"?

I have new 10mm Magnecors which I haven't even fited yet.

I would prefer Wasted Spark, but i'm thinking it may be too much work. Not that I know much about them. I have a Link Plus ecu, would it be hard to attach a Wasted Spark system to that?

The group A coil will give a stronger spark than the standard coil. The 'tacho adapter' means you need it for your rev counter to work, although as far as I know these are a straight swap.

Yes should be fairly straight forward on your aftermarket ECU especially seen as it can be done with the OE ECU with a little mod!

I am personally am not a fan of the Magnecores and prefer the standard leads.
