What's it look like ?

[R666 TUS]

I have a scabby coil on my Chimaera at the moment and
ordered a Bosch one using the part number in the bible.
When I went to pick it up it's a small square looking thing
and not the usual tin can looking shape. Also it has one large
and one small post were as my current mongrel coil has two small
posts ? So Bosch owners is yours small and stubby or not ?

Thanks, Col

The Bosch coil I got from ACT was almost identical dimensions as the (standard) one it replaced

Ye thought this one looked a bit odd.

Same here, bosch is the same size (and round!) as the original TVR poundstretcher coil but nice and shiney aluminium . Totally bling when added to the new blue magnecores.

What Bosch part number is on the box it came in? Your replacement will most likely have been made in Brazil. As already stated, it should be of similar dimensions to the 'COL 220' black original: an aluminium cylinder, not a square device.

It should come complete with a mounting bracket and each low tension post should have a pair of 'Lucar' spade-type connectors bolted to it.

All the part numbers on the this odd looking coil match
the ones given in the bible, I think it must just have
been sent in the wrong box? I have ordered one on line
with the same part number but it looks like the correct item
this time.

You've got the wrong part. Probably been packaged wrong as you suspect. It should look like every other coil you've ever seen. Nothing special.

It sounds like you've bought an ignition amplifier, not a coil!!

Humm, it doesn't sound right. Here are some picks from my ignition system upgrade:

Spangly new Bosch coil from ACT:

Yep thats the one I have now ordered. As I said the other
stubby one has all the right codes on the box so not sure
what is going on with that?
