${top_text_ad} here's some more info from ACCEL POINTS ELIMINATOR CONVERSION PART NO. 2010 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Ignition Coils:The ACCEL Points Eliminator Ignition System is designed to work with most stock ignition coils and aftermarket high performance ignition coils. For optimum performance in systems without an ACCEL 275+/300+ or similar ignition control, use one of ACCEL’s 4 specially matched coils eliminates the need for a ballast resistor or a resistance wire. These coils are: 140108, 8140 or 8140C SuperStock
Canister Coils, 140009 HD E-core SuperCoil.wonder why they don't mention this in the MP electronic conversion instruction?
because I think they do recommend the 8140 SuperStock coil. Schuyler 62 Dodge Dart 440 wagon w/ Poly 318 <http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.org/ml-wrobel62.html>FYI - I Do the Decal designs for the Poly head 318 and more! email me with your needs -

This is all extremely helpful, you folks are the greatest. The ballast resistor was included with the MP kit, but I also seperately bought an HP hi-voltage coil. I wonder if the resistor was included assuming youstill had the stock coil. With the new coil, maybe it is not necessary.I am going to try to reach Jeg's today.

Of course my car is all apart, again, so it really doesn't matter right now:-) Rich Kinsley '64 Dodge Polara 4dr 318poly w/goodies ===================================================================== ====sky62 wrote:I've been doing some checking and it seems that most coils for are cars are 12v coils, rather it be a MSD blaster, Flame-Thrower, Accel Super Stock etc... what's different is some areinternally resisted with different primary resistances rated in Ohms,just like theballast resistors are... ? it seems the lower Ohms rated coils, say .7 Ohms - .85 Ohms have a higher maximum voltage rating like 45,000v, compared to 1.5 Ohms with a maximum of 40,000v. there is also a secondary resistance, rated in Ohms, and a turns ratio etc... but, although, it still isn't 100% clear if you need the ballast resistor with the Mopar ECU? I'm reading stuff like the resistor is "Absolutely required for points-triggered ignitions equipped with coils that do not feature a built-in resistor." ok or "No ballast resistor is required when using Accel 41000, 51000, 61000, or 71000 seriesElectronic Breakerless Distributors or when using Accel 300+ IgnitionControl Modules, no matter what coil is used." and the "Mallory Heavy Duty Porcelain Resistors have a 200 watt rating and use threaded terminal connections for better wire retention. Available for most standard point type or electronic ignitions. This resistor has variable resistance values for improvedcoldweather starting and is a direct replacement for old Mallory Part#650-25750-38 and #650-28127." JEGS ballast resistor is designed to be used on low resistance ignitions such as breaker point and some optical trigger breakerless systems. Ceramic construction prevents overheating of the system for durability while maintaining consistent coil current and spark duration. Rated at 1.6 Ohm. and I'm still looking, but I can not get a clear cut answer on bypassing the MP ballast resistor, when using aMopar ECU, and one of these internally resisted coils ?? BTY there isno indication that the Accel SuperStock Coil is internally resisted? so, Rich, what do you think? how hot is your coil getting after10 or 20 min. of use? I say if nothings heating up to much then maybeyour ok. all I know, is my resistor gets freaking hot and my coil after an hour long trip is just a little to warm to touch? clear as mud eh.

Right. I have an Accel Super Sport and I did away with the ballast resistor.

Keep asking questions until you are satisfied with all ofthe answers.The point ignition system used a ballast resistor and a low voltage(primary side) coil. When you turn the key to start the ignition switchbypasses the ballast resistor and puts full voltage to the coil forstarting, when you release the key the resistor goes back in the circuit and reduces voltage to the coil. The Mopar electronic ignition works about the same as the point systemexcept the control box does the switching. As you found they sent adifferent ballast resistor. You need to use their new resistor because the coil is still designed to run at a lower voltage. My Pertronix system was designed to run without a ballast resistor. It uses a 12 volt coil. Don't mix apples and oranges, each system must be installed as designed. I think you very much like your new ignition system. Take Care Dennis C. laborboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:I installed the jumper wire (probably 16 gauge, did not have a 12handy). My last question, I promise: If we have to jump the ballastresistor,why does Mopar Performance include a new ballast resistor in its conversion kit, and have you install it if the voltage won't be high enough?
