The Bosch Blue coil has been a hop up replacement for a while just as it was for hopping up a VW
back in the 60's and 70's. There is also an easy replacement from NAPA. Below is from my files....

MIKE,
I'VE SEEN YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE BOSCH BLUE COIL. JUST RECEIVED MINE TODAY. HERE IS SOME INFORMATION I HAVE FOR YOU.
BOSCH BLUE COIL PURCHASE:
AFTER MUCH RESEARCH
http://www.ratwell.com/technical/BlueCoil.html &
http://www.1800vw.bizhosting.com/coilhdbblue.htm I ORDERED A COIL FOR MY BULLET FROM VICTOR COMP. PRODUCTS BECAUSE HE HAD THE CORRECT COIL FOR THE BEST PRICE $26.95. WHEN I WAS AT MID OHIO VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE DAYS DRS CYCLE HAD THE BOSCH COIL FOR SALE BUT IT WASN’T THE "GOOD" COIL ACCORDING THE ABOVE WEB SITES. THIS IS WHAT DRS CYCLE SAYS ABOUT THE BOSCH BLUE COIL (Bosch blue coil ,this item will single handedly increase performance by bolstering the ignition system , this will increase the voltage from 35,000 to 50,000 volts . This will improve the combustion process and is a better quality coil! $45.95.

Info from a NAPA tractor coil that works…
Hello all!
The NAPA Part number is IC12SB. Check to make sure you get the correct
resistor/non-resistor model.
Ask, look at the box, then check the coil before you walk out
It runs about $14.99 US plus tax
Mine works fine, but for the life of me I can remember if it is resistor
or non, but I /think/ it is non.
Course, it works so I never have to look at the darned thing, but I
still keep my little tiny original one in the side can just in case.
Have fun!

The good Bosch blue coil will have the bracket attached and a circular label on it. The cheap ones are a different shade of blue and do not have the bracket attached and have a square label on them. They both use the exact same part number, so when ordering you need to specify THE GOOD ONE or the one with the bracket ATTACHED. Many budget vendors (full page rag ads) pawn the cheap ones off as the good BLUE coils, since they are both blue
