    i think all xj's use 3 ohm primary resistance coils, the trick is getting ones that fit in the space you have and mounting them

    Cycle recycle part 2 have brand new Honda CB 750 coils for 39.95$ ... ive been running them on my XJ750 seca ...works great mounts like stock and have replaceable plug wires.. hint they also carry wires and new resister caps. So far put almost 1000 miles on with no problems.

    Lower 48 in general. Otherwise Central Mitten.
    Then there is always the Dyna coils.
    A common upgrade.
