what all did you have to add on

I've not got the engine installed yet. Been spending my free time on septic systems and pond dams. LOL

I need to bring the truck over here to pressure wash under the hood and do a few things to the transmission.

But....according to Accel, this coil is supplied with a ballast resistor that has to be installed in addition to any resistor that the ignition system has already. So on my Duraspark system I need to use the factory resistance wire, and a 0.6 ohm ballast resistor.

Wasn't supplied with anything, was supposed to be the bomb for everything.
Then they said it was the bomb for just electronic ignition, buy their other coil for points, which I did. Now this...:rolleyes:

Parents made us listen to the Statler Brothers, box car willie, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and others all the way to Disney world while my dad chain smoked marlboro reds with the windows up the whole way. Still a fan of classic country.

I called their help line. Twas a complete waste of time. I then downloaded the instructions that supposedly came with the coil, and that was where I found out about the resistance issue.

I was trying to be nice, I saved it so someone else could use it.

Twas very nice of you to send me an awesome coil. I just wondered why it fried your points, and dug into finding out.

@Mastermind It looked like you had electronic ignition to me, so I thought it would be perfect for your engine.
Let me know what you need and I'll get it for you.

Oh no you will not. You sent me a 75.00 coil on your dime. I can afford a 5.00 ballast resistor. LOL

Naw. It's a great coil. Just requires more resistance than a regular coil.
My guess is less turns on the primary windings and more on the secondary so they could get the flyback voltage even higher when the magnetic field is collapsed. Do they still make those solid copper plug wires that make any radio go nuts around them?

I'm pretty sure i would never smoke nor listen to one note of country my whole life if i'd been subjected to that particular family bonding experience John. But, then...

All i read was "they pump extra smoke in at the factory".
