Eventually I will install a Pamco, but I'd like to start with a coil. Motor will stay stock cam and stock bore, unless oversize pistons are needed. Suggestions?

Well, I would need to know the year and model of your bike to answer the question, but if it is a points bike, then both of the stock coils will be replaced with a single dual output coil, like Mikes 17-6822 or 17-6903 coil. You will then have to tie your points wires together and only use one condenser to work with points. These coils have a lower resistance than the stock points coils, so the points will not last as long due to the higher current.
If you have a '80 to '83 model, then its a little easier. Just substitute one of the recommended coils for the stock coil, or keep the stock coil to go with the PAMCO.

Ok, Pete. Thanks, it sounds like it would be easier and just make more sense to do both at the same time. It's a 1979
