Re: [FWDLK] dual points or electronic?



You need to have a different coil to run without the ballast resistor, running on straight 12 volts will increase the current flow through the ecu (box) and get it really hot in short order. Some of the later model mopar coils are designed to work with 12 volts, the early ones aren't.

Also, I'm "running" a ballast resistor (finally found a "correct-style"
one; NOS, on Ebay); it's connected to the coil, but, with the "HiPo"
coil I've got,  what (IF any) is the net-EFFECT  OF  the  coil I've got
(came with the E.I. system I installed) ON  the ignition system, GIVEN,
that the system appears to be 'happy', WITH the ballast resistor
installed?

In other words (in addition to, possibly 'carrying' a spare E.I. box) ,
should I get a higher output coil, and/or disconnect the ballast
resistor connection, to the coil?

Or, is ignorance "bliss"?????
