I put the green Dyna S (3 ohm) coils on my 79 when I switched to the Dyna S electronic ignition. I think the coils are around $100.
I have only VM carbs, so I can't help you there.
Good luck!

As to your coils, if they produce good spark, then save your money. The ends go bad, trim them back and put on some new NGK spark plug caps.
Lots of members are still running their original coils
The Dyna and Accel coils will give you a better spark, but at what cost?
No doubt Chef will send you some washers, send him a PM with your address1978 GS 1000 (since new)
