Default Re: Ballast resistor

Points are not alike. They have current ratings and passing excessive current through the contacts will cause them to fail. The Ford coil is not 6V. That is why there is a resistor. Many of the 6V aftermarket coils from the same era as your early Ford also use the ignition resistor in one form or another.
