<div><font size="3">But seriously, through 72 the TR6 has a 12 Volt coil (internally ballasted) and there is no intentional resistance in the coil wiring. From 73 onwards the used a 6V coil with a ballast wire, But it is not the wire between the coil and distributor so in either case a plain copper wire is used.</font></div></font><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It took me a long time to wrap my head around the way that system actually works.

Back in the day, I sold plenty of ceramic resistors for Chryslers, but I assume the wire is buried in the harness somewhere?</div><div><br></div><div>Jeff Scarbrough</div><div>Corrosion Acres, Ga.</div></div></div>
