Isnt this too little to bypass the ballast resistor? Can I run 12 volt round coil on a 6 volt system with ballast resistor bypassed or are all too high in primary resistance? [Reply]   [No Email]

If a "true" 12v coil with no ballast req'd, then it will be >3 Ohms & if you use it on 6v, the current will be too low & no run or weak spark & perhaps cut out at high speed & poor if any cold start.
