Re: Coils
Good info Rusty. So, if you have more voltage from the coil, does that mean the spark gap should be opened up a little?

Re: Coils
most coils for point systems put out 20,000 + KV's (stock) after market was more and also TI was higher-check a sun chart- there great for info- more than most realize

Re: Coils
on a camaro with the white wire going to the postive side of the coil(this is resistance wire) check the voltage with the key in run postion or if a ballast res just check the voltage on both sides and compare them-if i remember right it should be around 8 volts. an old retired teck

If the points are open and the engine isn't running you will have battery voltage (very nearly). If the engine isn't running and the points are closed, voltage will only show about 4-6 volts. Ask me how much I lost betting an electrical engineer that there should be 8 volts all the time [embarrassed] $10.00 in 1974 dollars [/embarrassed].
