Ignition coil replacement
Discussion
My BMC ‘B’ series 1622cc requires a new ignition coil, it is a standard set up so far as I know. Tried to read the label on the old coil and it looks like T 201 standard coil. Trouble is I can’t find what is the equivalent. Help appreciated.
Also will need to replace the condenser, again any help much appreciated.

If it uses a push-in style king lead then a Lucas DB102 (12v version) should be fine. If it uses a screw in king lead the Lucas DLB100 is the one.
It's worth investing in a contact breaker replacement module however (e.g. Accuspark, Pertronics etc..). This fits into the distributor in place of the points and provides a basic electronic ignition which means no worries about points gap adjustment or condensers failing and provides a much better spark for starting. They are completely invisible once fitted, and you can easily revert back to points if you wish.
