Anyone know of an coil upgrade I could use on a points bike? I bought a two new coils from Mikes about a year ago and the tower caps just wont screw on tight enough. Probably some cheap chinese garbage.. I looked through previous posts but the links seem to be outdated. 79' XS650 stock...

Ive recently done some mods on my ‘79. Uni pods, Mikes pipes, shorty muffs and some jetting: 137.5 mains and 30 pilots. The bike runs good and starts in 3 kicks or less consistently. I pulled the plugs after maybe 100 miles and noticed the white porcelain around the electrode is a orangish...
