A 1.5 ohm coil primary needs a matching resistor of about 1.5 ohm on 12V.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It is stated on outside of coil that no external resistor is needed. I also bought a spare set of points and condensor to throw in the glove box. I always like to do that. Think I might throw that used coil that I used to test last night in the glove box too. Thanks for the help.   [Reply]  [No Email]
