Pursuant to the recent thread(s) about ballast resistors vs. not, I
was wondering if anyone has tried using two resistors in parallel with
a coil that normally should have one? This would give about nine volts
where six should normally go, upping the spark voltage by 50%. If
people have had their six volt coils survive with 12v. being (perhaps
mistakenly) applied, I wondered if splitting the difference like this
mightn't be worth trying.
I know you can buy high output coils, and I know that the points might
suffer, and the coil will get warmer, but it's so cheap and easy!
Anyone ever try it? (I guess you'd want to widen your plug gap to
match as well.)
Regards,
Jim Wallace
