The stock ignition system shorts out the ballast resistor to provide a hotter spark when the starter is dragging the system voltage down. Do these "12V" coils have a similar feature? Or are they so "hot" that they still have plenty of energy when running on reduced voltage? I assume that this would apply only to a "points" or Pertronics type system, not a fully electronic one.
