Ignition coil replacement

Been shopping coils on Ebay. Can someone direct me to the proper coil. Bunch of different ones and I want to make sure I get the right one. I guess part number would be helpful as well.

OEM was Lucas 32C5, Russ, but any coil with a primary resistance of some 1 - 2 ohms range will do.

There are coils and there are coils. Make sure that you buy a branded product and not a cheap Chinese knock-off.

I also used a DLB170 on my Series III 4.2 with good results

I agree.

Unfortunately, buying a known brand name nowadays isn’t a sure-fire guarantee of…anything. But, still, probably a safer bet than a no-name choice
