12v coil ? on 6 volt ?

Didn't I see a conversion kit that has a special cap that lets you use a can coil on your front mount distributer ? Do the can coils run on 6 volts on the side mount distributers or do you drop the volts on those also ?

Therefore, despite wishful thinking on your part, any 12-volt ignition coil (even with gazillion sparkies volts) trying to being run on 6-volts will have WEAKzillion sparkie volts. Guess what? engines don't run on WEAK sparkies.

Howsomevers; because of THE LAW, you can "trick" 6-volt ignition coils (or other electrical stuff like lightbulbs) to run on 12-volts by using a 12-to-6 volt converting resistor. (just as you are tricking the squarecan ignition coil to run on 6-volts by using the "infamous ballast resistor") Works everytime.

ONLY the 6-volt squarecan frontmount ignition coil always uses a resistor. (whether 6-or-12 volt battery, and the type and value of resistor CHANGES depending upon the battery, its THE LAW) The 6-volt roundcan sidemount ignition NEVER uses a resistor on 6-volts. Its THE LAW. Understand?..... .respectfully, Dell, the NON-lawyer

Dell, You need to re-think that statement.
Its resistors that reduce "current" in a circuit, and added resistors redistribute voltage in the circuit. The largest resistor, in a circuit, will have the largest voltage drop, so I don't understand your point.
