Default '71 LT-1 Replacement Coil

Since the #1115272 repros are getting harder to come by, what brand / model Coils are folks using as aftermarket replacements?

Does your Corvette still have the Factory Transistorized ignition system in it and is it still working?
IF you do not have the factory T.I. then you want to buy a different coil.

We removed the entire system from the C3 and put in a complete MSD ignition system including the distributor. The original parts are getting expensive and they will continue to get rare. The original T.I. worked very well and there is a gentleman named Dave Fiedler who specializes in those GM T.I. ignition system. He also sells a replacement controller board allowing your car to be more reliable using the factory T.I. I had him rebuild my distributor and install the new control board before vacuum packing it for storage. Dave KNOWS Factory T.I.!!! You can reach him if you need him at: http://www.tispecialty.com/about.htm
