Hi all,

My ignition coil seems to be gone. The ohm readings for the primary resistance cannot hold at the proper spec for the coil on my petrol 2a. New one in the mail.

The coil on my 2a is a BERU ZS 172 coil. Online searches say this it a "heavy-duty, high-energy coil," that is suited for 4 and 6 cylinder engines. It also says they produce a "strong, blue spark," suited for electronic ignitions (which also came with the Rover).


My question is this:

Should I go with a Lucas or similar coil to replace it, or would this coil be suited just fine for my engine? I had no issues with poor running conditions before it gave up.

Ive been down a few rabbit holes for cars and old Brit bikes repair, but not ignition coil specs. I don't want to fry my IGN, but I don't want to under power it either.
