hendrixswhitestrat Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just about to go for a blat and my coil has packed in....having problems sourcing from a motor factor as they're asking me what the original car would have been ??? I have a 1990 1700 Xflow Supersprint....anyone know what the answer is (or model of Coil fitted)...mine's too knackered to read any serial numbers etc !! ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Any coil will do, the important thing is : does it have a external resistor or not. If it has a external resistor the coil will be 9V if it doesn't have a resistor it will be 12V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 If they need to know a vehicle, tr one that had a crossflow fitted, e.g. Mk I of II Escort. A mini (original) one would probably do. Mind you, you need to establish whether a ballast resistor is fitted. Any decent motor factor should be able to help you out. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molecular--Bob Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I think you need a lucas DLB101 12v coil, or a DLB105 12v sport coil, both should be ok if you have the lucas ignition amplifier. Got my last one from halfords. Edited by - Molecular--Bob on 17 Apr 2010 21:54:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrixswhitestrat Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Cheers all - appreciate the posts.

Graham Sewell Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 My local motor factor carries Intermotor parts and the reference for that is 11040. Cheers, Graham ------ Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alextangent Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ditch the coil go MegaJolt. If this idiot can do it, then anyone can, and the results are really worth it. Solid idle, far fewer misfires, improved fuel consumption and much better torque from 1800rpm and up. Worth it.

jonboylaw Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Another for Megajolt, and Alex is right, if he can do it, anyone can 😬 well worth a few weekends puzzling over the wiring diagrams etc... there are a few of us on here that have done the conversion and can offer advise.

hendrixswhitestrat Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 Cheers all ...as you'll see from the thread above this I'm fighting on two fronts (coil and oil !!!) One small problem after another.....oil leaks..... thought I'd left all this behind when I sold my series landrover Dad? Yes son ? Why does Uncle Martin always smell of engine oil ?

Graham Sewell Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Crossflows have a built in rust inhibition system that keeps a constant fine layer of used engine oil on all surfaces within the engine bay and a few other lucky areas as well.
