I'm replacing my old "F"d up electonic system with a petronics plug and play distributor system and would like to eliminate the ballast resistor as well. I was told that the old coils would fry if you ran them too long on 12 volts. I can't seem to get a straight answer out of anyone else as to which brand and model of stock appearing coil I need for this. One person said I need a breakerless ignition coil, one said I need a coil with 1.4ohm primary resistance, one said I need one with .7ohm primary resistance...

HELP!



The Factory Service Manual specifies .5 - .6 ohms.
Good luck finding those ! Most are 1 ohm or more, which is OK.

I have a .25 ohm resistor, that I keep around for "special occasions".

If you think about Ohm's law and electronics at all, you will realize why , in these special moments, less is more. Good luck.
