Re: Which coil is the best? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be chris ulrich on  Tue Nov 28 08:32 CST 2000 [RELATED]



When I suspected that the coil in my 122 was dead, I went to a salvage

yard and got a coil from a random car (it was a 6 cylinder 2 door BMW)

and wired it up to the battery directly (and then wired it up to the

distributor). The car worked fine. This probably isn't as well engineered

as bosche wanted, but it certainly worked well enough to make the car go.

I'd just wire up an old distributor you've got sitting around to a relay

connected to the ignition switch; use a starter button instead of the

key breaking mechanism volvo designed, and ignore the armored coil in the

122. I used a bolt hole from the bracket holding the (dead) brake booster.
