Avoid coils with less than 3.0 Ohms resistance DC .
The classic Bosch "blue coil" is a proven performer and Blue Streak
,NAPA , Borg Warner etc 12 volt coils from breaker ignition cars
designed for use WITHOUT EXTERNAL BALLAST resistor should serve the
purpose. If you happen to run a 12 volt coil made for use with a ballast
resistor it will not only draw too much current ,they can actually burst
if you happen to walk off while the ignition is on and the points happen
to be closed. The oil makes a mess and you ain't goin nowhere till you
get a new coil !
When you say 3 Ohm internal resistance are you referring to the
primary coil resistance or does the coil have a 3 Ohm resistor built in
and in series with the primary ?

Hey...does anyone know what the ohm rating on a MG Coil is? I am running a MSD Blaster W resistor (my basket had no coil) and I would like to check figures againt stock. I don't want to weld my points together constantly. Thanks in advance... 74 4ls Police |
