Thanks for the info. I thought about that, but figured that since it was
connected with those cheepo connectors that it wasn't originally there.
Looking through the VB catalog, I noticed that most of the new coils did not
mention needing a ballast resistor, though one (Mallory chrome one I think)
did. I hate to be dense, but could someone enlighten me as to what their
purpose is?
Thanks,
