I have read that MSD units can pulse about 300 volts to the coil primary but the question here is the amps (current flow) that goes thru the coil. Its my understanding that the MSD units will pulse about the 300 volts very fast and even if you have a 1000 volts to the coil pos terminal it will still depend on how long the coil neg side is grounded to figure how many amps flow. 1000 volts at the coil but if no ground no current flow. Of course the more volts without changing ohms means more current flow but as I said the MSD pulses the voltage so fast that it cant be to much more current flow or it could burn something up.
I had thought I read in Mopar Action where they said its fine to bybass the ballast and I thought some people said they did it and thats mainly why I am asking. I would not think it would work real long but I never tried it. Ron
