I have no idea if I'm right or wrong but I'd stash it, get a blue one & spray paint it flat black. Run w/ that one all the time & if you enter a show swap out the coil w/ the original.

I put a "blue" on my 914 when it was a year old, in'73. Motor seemed to idle smoother & peak better. But that could be me as a 26 year old punk, trying to convince myself that the blue coil was better. Looked better, too.

Still have the old blue, as well as the original (since painted red - don't ask). if anything, i'd have to say that it's lasted well. Bought a replacement blue 10 years ago & it's still on the shelf - right next to my asbestos brakes! (4 sets, too).

I would go with the blue until/if it breaks. Amazingly, they're still cheap today!
