In Reply to: coil posted by martin p on Thursday, May 14, 2009:
On your 8n is the distributor on the front or on the right side of the engine? Check the cheapest and easy things firsst. May just be the points. If you have a volt meter you can check for voltage at the in side of the coil. on a side mount you can check real easy for voltage at the points after taking the dist. cap off. On a front mount thigs are not quite as easy. your can check to make sure you have voltage to the top of the coil with everythin installed. But first check to make sure the Ignition switch is working. they do go bad. I would trya nd clean the points before i did any thing else. easy on side mount. front mount you have to remove the distributor from engine. It will only go back on one way so you do have to worry about getting it on wrong.
as far as the coil being a 6 or 12 volt, it should say on it. there may or may not be a resistor in the wire going to the coil.

go to the above site and check out the different wiring diagrams there. May help some.
If you do not have aservice manual I would suggest you get one. Very useful and worth the cost. I&T FO-4 service manual. Ebay is one source.
Good luck
