Sounds like you've grabbed the old school one that needs the ballast resister fitted as previously descibed. A ballast restister drops the volts going to your coil to about 8 volts I think. Normally found on some cars with points. I know some torana's and the old kingswoods had them. Not sure about dunnydores

THanks for that info mate lol I found that out similar stuff after some extra research :ranting:

I decided to take it back and get my cash back Installed the good old one back in :whistling

Would anybody have an idea on how much a new coil could be? & where there's a good chance of getting one?

About 60 bucks. From any auto joint like Autobarn or Repco.

You may need to get them to order it though. They don't carry all stock, but go in and talk to them. They usually know what you are talking about and can look up their computers/manuals for you. :thumbsup:
