Dyna's coils are not magic nor do they defy any laws governing electricity
They are quality made and very reliable
4-5 ohm coils work fine with points and their current draw will be right in line with stock stuff.... so will their secondary output as well primary consumption
3 ohm coils will have points not living very long without an amplifier of some sort and will indeed draw more current than typical stock points coils and also higher secondary output/energy avialable
1.5 ohm coils will fry a set of points within seconds and you better use a big primary wire going to it while not expecting antique charging systems to be able to keep up... these will jump a huge gap and stop your heart
there are also less than 1 ohm ignition coils available and they should be handled with much care
and this matters not whose name is on the coil
Correct Corey.... with a 180 crank you cannot do the dual output coil and waste spark
the truth be known, single fire even with a 360 degree crank results in easier starting and slightly better performance in most all cases but especially so for HD's with it's 315/405 stagger

are these Dyna coils any more (or less) taxing on the electrical system?
