I have yellow accel coil, I've been let down by duff Citroen coils too often, probably wouldn't be a problem if I bought a new one but as I understand it buying a new coil wasn't a guarantee of reliability, never heard a bad word said about the accel coils and never had any problems with it.

they dont always behave when they get wet, the metal fixing bands can cause them to ark burning the rubber boots on the HT cable

I don't understand, why don't you use the original black coil, I run mine for years now on Megasquirt/1-2-Spark and even running at over 1.5 bar of boost, it never misses a single beat...
It can make sparks longer as 1/2 an Inch so what do you need more.....

I started looking into alternative coils and ignition systems to compliment the twin spark supercharger setup I am doing. Sequential ignition is much safer and more efficient than wasted spark on S/C setup, other ignition systems work fine but I want reliable POWERFUL daily driver, oxymoron. ..
Also with twin spark if I run 2 x 2cv coils it is each coil in each cylinder, not one coil per cylinder, seems wasted indeed to me...
From my research LS1 coils are best bang for buck and plentiful in scrap yards.
So I plan on building up to these, in wasted spark, with 1-2-spark :-)
I will also be machining a singke tooth wheel to attach to front of cam to run sequential one day, hopefully with 1-2-spark :-)

I can deliver your 1-2-spark in about 2 or 3 weeks...... There's a German who also has twinspark, he drove it with 2 2cv coils each coil serving 2 cilinders.....
But his ignition brake down and now he wants also a 1-2-spark.....

If you send me your regular email adress I will send you the software, try if you can load the advance table.... if you can load it and it works.... then your ready for 1-2-spark

Now this is why you have got lots of money from the insurance..... it is also a lot of time (and money) to make her like before the accident I guess..

Looks like good work to me...
