Here's an excerpt from a online parts house.  I've bought tons of parts from
them.  These coils are tisco.. and as you can see.. nearly the same price.
I have used both the 6v and 12v.  There are epoxy/plastic, unlike the more
original metal can ones with 'tar' like potting that melts easilly when
overheated.

The tisco12v front mounts will still need a half ohm current limiter
unfortunately..

Personally I feen the plastic/epoxy potted new style 6v coil is superior to
the meatl/tar potted oem style coil.  Seems to have better thermal
properties.. it may be a matter of opinion.. But for coil meltdown
problems.. i don't see many unless the oem ballast resistor has been
bypassed.
