I'm looking to replace the single-fire coil on my '95 FLST Nostalgia. There's no maker's mark on it anywhere. I've searched the internet for an exact replacement but no luck. Can anyone tell me what I've got from the picture attached?
Thanks in advance for any help in I.D.-ing it...
I would GUESS that any single fire coil should work in its place, if you can't find the exact one. There might be a few exceptions to that, but in general, a coil is a coil. If you can measure the resistance of a primary circuit, that would help.

Electronic ignitions are pretty picky about resistance...that appears to be a crane 3 ohm single fire....brand doesn't matter but resistance does...newer crane coils are made by S&S. Have you checked it to see if there is anything wrong with it? That is a pretty expensive coil.

I bought a cheap single fire coil from Amazon($48, made in USA, and free shipping) but the original chrome cover wouldn't fit over it. All electrical connections are on one side as opposed to the old coil. And now, less than 2 months and 400 miles later, the rear cylinder quit firing. I checked for spark and there was none. I verified function of the spark tester(pictured) on the front cyl just to be sure it was working. Guess I got what I paid for, cheap $48 coil . . .

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm sure the coil is bad, kept losing the rear cylinder after warm up, then finally wouldn't fire at all. I put in a cheap coil, along with new wires and plugs in Aug, and now 500 miles later, there's no fire to the rear cylinder, again. I ordered an Accel Super Coil from Amazon a couple days ago. Hope I'll get a little more life out of it than the last one. I'll also check with S&S as you suggested.
