Ms 880 coil and flywheel

[stihladdictt]

I recently built a ms 880 all stihl oem parts it is an older 880 so it has the 3 hole ignition and cast iron muffler I was wondering can I run the newer aluminum flywheel instead of the poly also where can I find a 3 hole ignition coil my dealer is telling me they are rare and hard to come by is there a ignition coil I can use that matches I already have the aluminum 880 flywheel also does it have the same timing as the poly or should I purchase a poly flywheel ?

There's info on this here and there on a bunch of 880 coil and flywheel threads in the past. But at a glance, poly and aluminum flywheels not compatible, different timing. They changed pretty much everything apparently, not a lot compatible. Sounds like the 361 and 441 coils were only a match for the later 880, I think the early poly one could only take an 088 coil. That's likely why the dealer says they're rare and hard to come by.
