I have a real nice 238 coil if needed

A NAPA IC14 (or equivalent) has an internal resistor in the coil. That should protect the pick up. With the better part of battery voltage, itsvgoing tonrun strong

According to the instructions for that unit, posted in this thread, they want the COIL to have 1.2 to 1.8 ohms of resistance. They ALSO want the coil fed with a resistance in the power-supply wire--the original resistance wire, or a 1.2 to 1.8 ohms ballast resistor.
Therefore, TOTAL intentional resistance in the ignition coil circuit would be 2.4 to 3.6 ohms. A resistor coil by itself won't be enough; neither will a typical ballast resistor by itself. This system needs both the ballast resistor AND coil resistance. Which--to be honest--doesn't make any sense because they claim that the ignition module is "Over-voltage/over-current protected." Overall, NOT my first choice in an electronic ignition system. God bless Genuine GM HEI--protected (at least short-term) to ~18 volts. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
