Is it twin plugged? If so I am told (from a good authority) that Dyna coils are the only ones that work. When I had a R100 road bike modified with gas flowing, Boyer, twin plug etc. this is what I had and it worked perfect. May be worth giving Jim Cray (Cray Engineering a call) he will tell you for sure.

Got a few pics at Mallory that I will post, when I can work out how to do it

. Must say the bike looked good Dick, and it sounded.................well it sounded...........just

It is going to be good on tyres though, they looked to be in as good a condition at the end of the day as they were at the beginning
