coil questions

Posted by Cli55er On 2012/3/7 12:17:04

if one were to use an internally resisted coil, would the external stock resistor even been necessary? would one just connect all the wires that normally would have gone to the resistor?

i'm weighing my options for coil/distributer performance.

i can go with the ignitor coil and pertronix modification to the distributer

or the factory coil and dual points setup

or the factory coil and single point setup

also how would i check the coil. i have two of the factory coils...the one that was on the car was all dented up but it worked when i started the car the first time. the second coil i have i found in the trunk of the car and it is only just surface rust no dents, but i don't know if it works.

i know the resistance of the delco resistor is 1.40-1.65 ohm and the internally resisted ingnitor series coil can be had in 1.5 ohm. but for externally resisted coils, like stock....how does one check if it would work or not?

thanks
