What I do like about these coils is everything wires up as normal the way I am building my modules so I don’t have to reverse the small wires to the coil by extending the ground small wire a bit so it can go to the screw on points where the positive wire normally goes I then ground it but the purple coils don’t require that see pic. The brown and green wire are wrapped together and soldered to the other side of the diode opposite of the grounded side and go to leg E of 2SD1071
I am going to refrain from using silicone on this modules so I can inspect them after like 20 hours of run time.

When you timed it with a strobe did you do it with a drill or engine running ❓ When I tested the Nova II’s in a Japanese yamato Y80 I did it with a drill at 400 revs, timing was steady. Then checked it with an inductive light and found the timing would increase a lot with revs until about 4000. The Nova II’s are just the simple ones based on a certain build up to trigger the spark no internal timing curve design. I believe it might be related to the primary, secondary coil design and flywheel magnet arrangement ❓ Did you notice any strange timing changes when you timed it assuming it was running to do different rpm’s ❓
I had the Nova’s mounted outside the mag.
