Which coil?

Had running problems with our 65 Traveller recently. After lots of the usual scientific research it WAS the coil.
Now I need to buy "the" spare one..... so which one?
Standard points setup, distributor doctor rotor and condenser.

I would go for the Flamethrower coil from Distributor Doctor. They were about £40.

Cheers for the tip.
Just ordered what they recommended.
Not cheap at £67.74 but I'm sure it'll not only provide a strong and reliable spark for many decades to come but also cut the grass and clean the windows when off duty.

This one will be my user.. a few adjustments to the timing, almost pinking, 40 thou plug gaps and smooth strong running Traveller again.

I have used a Runbaken Oilcoil for a long time now, with good results.
