A coil is a coil.
Except you will find that they differ between bikes with black boxes and those with points.
They still work but burn out quick.
I do forget the tech reasons but have seen this happen quite often.
Older coils of points bikes don't seem to last on newer bikes.

as long as its a similar ohm rating should be ok.....

Have you tested the coil with a sharp stick/or a multi meter.Could be something else otherwise?
