Hola a todos.
I have to replace the old MagnetMarelli BES200A ignition coil.
Do you know types by other brands which fit to a 1975 1,3s Coupe, please
(for a better chance to find one here in canary islands)?
Many thanks,
Volker

The widely used replacement coil is the so called "Blue Bosch coil" made by Bosch itself of course and also by Beru. The resistance of the primary is about 3,3 Ohm. It should be used without ballast resistor as any coil with a resistance greater than 3 Ohm

Lucas Sport coils also work well. You could use ebay of course....
