Dynatek. Available all over the internet. You want the green 3 Ohm ones for electronic ignition.

Call them if you're not sure what all you need.

And a set of wires (at the bottom of that page) oughta do ya. See if you can get some pink wires -- they're faster...

Yep. I think they only make a green 3 ohm and a red 1.5 ohm. For mechanical ignition I think you get the green and put a 2 ohm resistor in line with it.

I have them on my 850. Used a ign balast res from a mid/late 70's Dodge/ply 4 pole style one side is .9 ohms other is 2 ohms. Mounted it to the top of the cam cover, longer bolt and about 3/8" washer stack
The black Dyna coils are about 5 ohms and are the best suited for a points ignition. Some people running points get the green coils and run a ballast resistor since that gives them a better upgrade path later on if they decide to spring for a Dyna S.
Regarding coils in general, I'd rather have the stock coils than Dyna's assuming the stockers are in good shape. Do what you want but changing out functional coils for aftermarket is not necessarly an upgrade.

i have read that here before but have forgotten. At some point the PO changed out the points and installed electronic ignition. Everything runs fine I just would like to avoid problems down the road it possible by changing out the OEM coils. I'll stick with what i have then. Thanks!
