I have seen people do this also, there used to be a guy on here that went by Schematic as his name. You might try a search on the subject or just post schematic are you there as your subject.
I got a 76 45 hp with battery ignition. I have used 12 volt automotive coils, cost about 6 bucks apeice at AutoZone. The 45 ran pretty good, cept I couldn't get the cover on, not enough room under it.Oh yeah, get the resister wire to go with them or you'll melt the coils pretty fast.
