An ignition coil creates a powerful spark by stepping up 12V to thousands of volts. The coil is a transformer. Datsun 1200 uses a traditional "can" type coil (the can is filled with oil or asphalt for insulation and moisture protection).

Bosch
Bosch OEM replacment coil
- SU12R Supercheap $39
There are several common coils in the Australian Bosch GT coil range.
- GT40: an oil filled conventional type coil, 3 ohm
- GT40R: same as GT40, but 1.5 ohm for use with a ballast resistor
- GT40T: a 'transformer' style coil potted in epoxy, 3 ohm
- GT40RT: same style as GT40T, but 1.5 ohm
GT40R or GT40RT can be used as a direct replacement for the stock 1200 coil, but is less powerful than the stocker 1.3 ohm coil.
Bosch Blue
The Bosch black coil uses varnish & tar in its construction, the blue coil uses Formavar (a high temp varnish) and polypropylene. In theory, the blue coil should hold up better at higher temperatures but users report that both coils do about the same.
GT40R Primary Resistance: 1.2 ohms Secondary Resistance: 8-10 Kohms
GT40RT Primary Resistance: 1.5 ohms Secondary Resistance: 8.6 Kohms
Bosch EI Bosch HEC715 is used with electronic ignition. Primary Resistance: 0.41 ohms Secondary Resistance: 7.8 Kohms
