Hey guys...just looking for some easy guidance

65 beetle with a 1600dp, 12 volt system. I need to order a new ignition coil, mine is shot. I just looked on jbugs and there are so many damn choices! I don't need anything crazy since its a pretty average setup! Any suggestions on which one I should get would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Ron

Get the Bosch Blue coil made in Brazil. The Mexican ones are not very good.

Wow.. I hate to sound like a stereotypical "cheap" VW owner, but... $90 dollars for a coil these days? Wow.. It doesn't seem that long ago that they were $20-25 dollars for the good Bosch coils.

That's a lot of coin for a not very coveted year bug. Not to mention, there are still TONS of late 60's bugs around as well.

And you're right... things are not cheap anymore unless you buy Chinese..
