but 25 or so years old never been used

Will it still be ok after 25 years? Not trying to be funny, I just dont know 🙂

25 years shouldn't worry it. What's the difference between a bosch blue and a GT40, I know the Yanks always recommend the blue?

believe it or not, i actually saw one in autobarn slacks creek while putting some stock away in spare parts!
we still might have it. we also got the gt40 coils too

I thought the GT40 was the equivalent?

I have been electricuted by the high tension leads of both the blue and gt40 coils, and the gt40 one hurt more...

Don't ask how. was a while back now. I got pretty airborne in the process.

So what is the difference and are some coils better than others? I recently replaced my coil with a Bosch SU12 but it seems that it has already chucked it in as the problem seems to have come back, are some coils better than others?

i think the GT40 is Red from memory

I prefer Bajachris' explanation best😵‍💫

OK, I'll ask it a different way, why advertise for " As in the title, im after a new blue coil." when you can go to supercheap and buy a bosch coil to suit for about $35 ?
