I am going to order some bilstien dampers from JT and figure I would ask if I should replace this coil that's on it now. It works engine starts right up and runs ok. This is my first roadster so this coil is all I have ever known. Looking to get the integrated resistor coil on JT's website. I have never seen this coil setup before.

I’m not familiar with that coil either. Do you have a standard point ignition or something else?
Peace,
Pat

Typical mid-80s Nissan coil found on most of their products of that era. Super reliable.

My $0.02 - If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.
If it starts up fine, keeps running and there is no misfire directly attributed to it, it’s working

More designed for ecu controller ign .
Some of the 80s one lasted like 40 k careful around the wires they can be high amps, were setup really for Platinum / irridium plugs
Problem with irridium plugs on carbed eng if it get s flooded , they foul easy your not going to get it going before pulling the plugs

For Iridium, I like the "Denso (4709) IW20TT Iridium TT Spark Plug". I felt they were a tad better than the "NGK (6427) BPR6EY V-Power Spark Plug".
My 2 cents. Might as well match the plugs to the coil
