I am in the process of converting my 8N to a 12V system. Can I buy a 12V coil at the auto parts store or do I need to buy one made specifically for an 8N? It seems that if I'm using an alternator made for a car that a coil made for a car should work too. I'm guessing it would have to be sized for 4 cylinders and the spark gap. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

David..... ..If its a sidemount ignition, its a matter of physical size and how inginnious you are. Howsomever, the square frontmount ignition coil doesn't give you any options.

Since the N-Engine is not a high RPM device, 4,6,8 cylinders coil is really not an issue.

Keep the ignition points gap the same, but if you really have a high output "hot-rod" coil you could widen up the sparkplug gap..... ...Dell

Thanks for the help! I went to an auto parts store last night and got what I needed. I have a side mount distributor and a cylindrical coil. It was no problem getting a coil the same size and shape. Thanks again, your posting gave me the information I needed.
