as far as i was aware a coil was a coil and that was it.
with the ecu there would be an amplifier module under the coil, but probably you don't need that with carbs.

i have an ignition amplifier on mine, i bought it all as it was but only to be told i need a different coil when i took it for a tune up
 current coil looks like that. He told me i needed an electronic one but i dont know now. spoke to another guy who said it should be fine the one i have if the car runs so not sure, need to take my current one to a shop and ask which one i need if the one i have is wrong
