Motoplat Red Coil - variations

[Rich Fredette]

Looking on eBay to replace my cracked 72 unit and now not sure if it is the correct one.
Penton parts manual illustration shows a long style unit (like left), but notes "BLACK wire". My cracked coil is shorter like unit on right but has a black wire. Some Spanish electrical insight required.

Do a search on this forum. There was a thread several years ago where Dane gave the entire history of the coils that were used.

Thanks Dale that gives me a better understanding. Kevin Donovan out of my home state of RI also gave a great summary in Dec. 2013. A studied bunch of gents at the POG.
