big yellow coil is ballast required with orange box ign

just was given a nice big accel yellow super coil with no instructions.can i use this with my mopar orange box?and is another ballast resistor required besides the original 4 prong mopar as on my 72 dart with mopar performance electronic conversion.thanks

I run my Yellow coil with a standard resistor and Chrome MP box...nothing else...been working that way for a very long time, in a number of builds.

If memory serves me right, I thought this coil used a ballast with a lower resistance than stock. Not totally sure though. Somewhere I have one of those resistors..............

I'm thinking it's for point dist..

I have been using the same yellow Acell Supercoil since 1997 on my cars and you can see I still use it on my 63 with the orange box. I believe I use a 1 ohm ballast with my Mopar electronic ign but I have had the system on the car so many years I need to recheck the ballast to be sure which one I use. It still works flawless on my 63 never missing a beat. I do remember when you bought that supercoil in the 70's they gave you an extra .25 ballast that you were told to add in series to the stock ballast that the point dist cars used so the points would not burn up to soon. I have been using this Acell supercoil for almost 20 years as my friend gave it to me around 1995 and I have no idea how long he had it before that. Ron

Wow, they still sell the Super Coil? I had one in my 440 Duster back in the late 80's!

yes, they still sell it. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/acc-140001/overview/ On the listing as a note- Notes: For points applications, the supplied 0.85 ohm ballast resistor must be used in conjunction with the vehicle's original ballast resistor, if so equipped.

ok thinks guys im going to give it a shot with the stock ballast and keep and eye on it.
