Need some coil help

[Mortman22]

OK... I've done a search but I havn't found this particular set of coils. Will these work on my XJ? I like the design and I will use them if they'll work but when it comes to electrical stuff I'm a little lost. Please help.

Hey Mort,

Yes, those coils will work with your XJ, however unless you want to spend a lot of $$, you might want to check out MikesXS site. Their coils for the later 650's with Electronic Ignition uses the dual tower 3.0 ohm coils for a much better price. IT's part # 17-6703 at only $28.00 ea!! Your choice.

Part of that price difference is the output of the OEM vs the performance coil.
OEM 15,000 volts
Dyna 45,000 volts
I did feel a difference in the "seat of the pants" if you're looking for that kind of thing. The OEM works too, like OEM should.

Hey Pat,

Mikes lists them as HIGH OUTPUT for the TCI systems vs. the Standard ones used for the earlier 650 breaker points sytem! Regrettably they don't list the actual KVolts output, but you're probably right in that they probably match the output of the later XJ coils since they, too, were for a TCI type system! I've got a set to put on the basket case that I'll be "trying" to rebuild this spring!

Thanks for all the help. Hey TC are those coils from Mikes XS just for a 650 or will they work on my 1100 too? Again thanks for all your help. You Gurus are awsome, you've always got an answer for us mortals.

The coils all do just one thing...create a spark. How hot a spark is determined by the number of windings. The ones from Mikes will work just fine, and should bolt right up.
