I have used some of the Chinesium Zhongfadz Universal magneto replacement coils. I have bought several of them. So far they have not given me any trouble. I have a ’56 Fastwin that I put them in this Spring and have put quite a few miles on them this summer. Still no issues. All this said, I still like the OMC coils better and have a bit more faith in their construction. I have seen the pins twist out of the Chinese ones. The OMC / BRP coils seem to make a hotter spark at a lower rpm than the Chinese ones also. Bottom line, the Chinese ones seem to work OK and have been reliable so far. Will they be in 10 years? Time will tell. The OMC/BRP ones get my vote if you want to be confident in your motor though.
