Hello fellow riders,
Can anyone please advice if I can do a straight replacement of stock coils and wires with Accel 3 ohm Supercoil kit for 80's Honda bikes on my stock cb700sc? Not ready to undertake the GM HEI mod yet, but found I have an intermittent coil and a broken plug boot with a resistor inside.  Is the resistor needed to protect the ignitor module or furnished for noise suppression? The kit is pricey, is it worth the expense?  A YouTube video suggested the jumping spark inside broken boot took out my coil, and possibly the ignitor module, any truth to that from your experience?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
