Anybody ever try to use a GM dual post coil on a KZ? I think you might have to use different wires or plugs? I'm thinking about trying it on my 82 LTD1000.
MSD version info
They are common as dirt. Used on about every V6 for 20+years. I've got about 10+ on the shelf.
The one I tested had about 0.7ohms on the primary, and 5.8K ohms on the secondary. Much lower than the stock ones for my bike, which are supposed to be 1.8-2.8ohms on the primary, and 10.4-13.6Kohms on the secondary.
currently 1982 LTD1000 UNI dual throat pods, MAC header Supertrapp muffler. Shoei fairing.

Next question would be why? Is your Kawasaki Ignition coils bad? Replacement coils aren't very expensive. Aftermarket performance coils are a bit more but not bad considering they're for Bikes.

You must have missed the other two threads involved with this subject.

Here's the deal I'm disabled and can barely ride this bike. Until I end up in a wheelchair I'll keep it and try to make do with what I have since I have next to no income to buy parts. So if I have parts laying around I can use I'll see what I can make work.
