Default Re: Ignition coil with resistor

Patrick L,

Just trying to help. The 12 volts isn't the problem with the points...rather the increased current via ohms law is what damages the points.

If you know this, then I'm just trying to keep the story accurate for those that are reading this thread and may not understand why 12 volts is a problem ?

After all, many cars were built that ran 12 volts and points.

Marc
