Are these very early coils and leads?
« on: August 12, 2008, 10:55:34 PM »
These coils have the same numbers on them as other CB750 coils I have but have "NGK" on the spark plug caps. The ones from my '71's do not. Are these pre '71?
Thanks!
Cliff.

If I'm not wrong, no Honda came out of the factory with NGK sparkplugs. They were probably installed by a previous owner.

I replaced the HT wires in my CB350 coils. The plugs were in bad shape so I just replaced with NGK plugs.

Aftermarket, I just picked up some from the dealer for about 6 bucks a piece.

Absolutely aftermarket and, much, better then the originals. Specially in the wet.
Better sorry for failing then for the lack of trying.
