Anyone know what the warranty is like on these?

Apparently we already hit the goal. I just received my additional 5% refund. Big thanks to Ed and to Kris for putting this together!

I got the same email showing the full 10% discount.

Thanks Ed and Kris!

Ed is solid.. I have had mine for at least a year and it was sitting on the shelf.... Installed it along with several other things at the same time and thought there was an issue. An email and I sent it to him and he sent it back. He couldn't find anything wrong with it, but replaced the entire circuit board anyway. Sent it back with a new free distributor cap. He gets an A plus, but you shouldn't have any issues with it. They are pretty solid.

Do you need to buy their coil for optimal performance or does it run just fine with a standard Bosch blue coil?

Thanks!

I think it's more of an "oil-filled" coil vs an epoxy coil issue. Supposedly, oil-filled coils are not supposed to be mounted horizontally, or they are prone to failure. Is that because the oil can leak out, or because the oil doesn't completely cover the coil? I have no idea.
Is it even proven? My coil is mounted horizontally, so I'm not sure about all of this. I'm also not sure of which coils are filled with what? I've heard oil in some, maybe gel-filled in others? Maybe the gurus will chime in? Or maybe this should be it's own thread?

Their website explains this. It's more about the cycling of a coil that has used breaker points and being cycled. Meaning that as the coil ages the output high voltage can cause misfiring cause havoc with the dizzy electronics. So....basically for the cost of a new coil and the cost of one of these things...get a new coil unless you know the age of the coil and you haven't had any problems with it. Read their webage about the product...it's pretty informative.

I quess my point is:

If you think it's an original coil to the car...and you had problems with the points like they got burnt easily or showed signs of it......given your investment....maybe you should.

Have fun.

I just talked to Ed at 123 Ignition USA and he's agreed to set up another group buy for 914 World members. He will give us a code that will provide an instant 5% off and then if we 10 people use that code in 30 days everyone will get another 5% refunded (for a total discount of 10%).

I don't want to get that code yet because we'll be on the 30 day clock once he provides it. I'm thinking we could get the code on November 1st.

Who would be interested besides me and @FlacaProductions ?


A little late to the party but count me for one. A carbed 2 liter presently running an Bosch 009 disti. Would like both the disti and a new coil.

That make sense. Probably an oversight on my part.

I wanted to take a moment and thank all who participated in this November Group Buy and past group buys. You are the best!
Enjoy your ride! And thanks for all the kind correspondence as well as supporting 123ignitionusa.

Thank you Ed.

Got my distributor installed and quite pleased with the result - seems to have eliminated the hesitation I was getting off the line that was especially bad when warm. At age 54 I am still learning new things (first time using a timing light for example).

One last comment- the blue Bosch coil terminals are not labeled + and - but rather 15 and 1. The 15 is the positive terminal and the dizzy won’t work if these are reversed - guess how I know…

All the best - Joe

Thanks Ed! The 123 has definitely made a difference in how my 914 runs and its performance. I'm a happy customer.

Thanks, Ed - mine is sitting in Indiana waiting for me to get back to it and do the install in early December. Looking forward to it!
