Turkish Coil

Post by Leo »

Hi, Just a heads up on coils, spoke to John at Midwest, and he says he can't get any decent coils, NOS have run oyt and only far east iffy ones available. Suggested a chap in Holland from whom I have ordered one, meant to be NOS, not sure if American or Dutch, but in the meantime ordered one from

in Turkey, fitted it yesterday and it works great, seems to be NOS Turkish made, possibly military.

The lettering on top is definitely foreign. $58 shipped seems to be
a comparable price to what we pay here for offshore coils. Let us
know if the Turkish coil has longevity.

I went to the Turk's online store and found this US made NOS
coil for $99 + ship. FYI.

Hi Rick,
That link seems to be for a 12V coil?
Will post any problems with the Turk, though I only do about 1000miles a year in the jeep, so hopefully it won't be for a while.

Right you are-12V as listed. I personally have never seen a 12V coil
NOS for the waterproof dist.
