Don't know what you have!
If you have a KZ650-B1 like me then the following will fit:
- Dyna S (DS2-2)
- Dyna 3 Ohm Green Coils (DC1-1)
If you would like to see how I installed mine see here:

This is what mine looked like installed:
Notice that I managed to keep my Oil Pressure Sensor wire, Blue/Red Stripe
Best of success.

PS
It would be best if you told us what bike you have. You will notice that many members add their year, model and location to their signatures to get the best responses... and it's considered very friendly too.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but I gotta say thanks Bill for the link to your wireing mods. Great stuff and will no doubt help in diagnosising my electrical issue.
I swear to God, it's like I live in a trailer of common sense, and stare out the window at a tornado of stupidity.

I would like to put a latemodel on it because I can get one cheap. Will it work?

Click here >> Dyna-S
Couple of other different model Dyna ignitions are available which would also work just fine.
Good Luck!

are my stock coils fine?
Yes, your stock coils are fine on 1977 KZ1000, which has no ballast resistor. The ballast resistor came with the electronic ignition introduced on the 1979 KZ1000-A3 with igniter and lesser ohm coils.
Good Luck!

Primary winding ignition coil resistance on 1977 KZ1000-A1 is 3.2-4.8 ohms. Same for 1978 KZ10000-A2.
Primary winding ignition coil resistance on 1979 KZ1000-A3 is 1.2-1.9 ohms.
Good Luck!
