Re: ballast resister
Hi Nikk.<br /><br />My recent problems have prompted me to perform some ignition work that relates to your question so I'll throw in my 2 cents. <br /><br />Another consideration here is what too much voltage across the coil primary can do to certain types of distributor modules. My Mallory breakerless wants to see 9 volts plus/minus a volt from coil plus to ground. It warns that exceeding these specs will eventually fry it. I'd suggest checking what your distributor setup calls for and running a voltage check from coil plus to ground to see what you've got. You can always add the resistor just to keep the distributor happy if necessary.<br /><br />Hope this is helpful in some fashion.<br /><br />Regards, crt.
