Or if you are that worried about it looking original, put it back to 6 volts like it was originally. This post was edited by john *.?-!.* cub owner at 08:15:24 03/06/13 3 times. [Reply]   [No Email]

There were a few coils (aftermarket) that had a (lightbulb) resistor built into the housing, and some 6v Ford car coils in the early 1950s had a resistor in a curved housing on the top of the coil. all available coils are just wound to use 12 volts. (more turns on the primary winding) None use an actual resistor inside. The confusion comes from printed words on coils (No External Resistor Required) that implies that there is an internal resistor, but there is not. Jim   [Reply]  [No Email]
