i've been playing around with the igniton on my 65 coronet. the original set-up was mopar electronic distributor, chrome box, blaster2 coil, and 1.25 ohm ballast resistor. anyhow, i've been talking to Don at FBO and decided to use some of his parts and ideas. i bought an electronic voltage regultor(works great), braided ground strap and one of his coils. all that works great. Don recommended a Standard ru-11 resistor rated at .25 ohms so i bought a couple(they were actually .5 ohms). the ru-11's run hot and glow on the backside, so i bought some mopar performance resistors that were rated at .25 ohms and were insulated on the back. i checked the resistance on all my ballast and the mopar had the least resistance but ru-11 put out 2 more volts to the coil. my question is; how can a higher resistance ballast put out more voltage to the coil?
