That questions not as easy as some may think.

Sure, an external DC voltage appled right to the coils high input (NOT to distributor) terminal is the same as HOT WIRING thereby by passing any potential switch problems orrrrrrrr any battery voltage drop problems and thus, would provide a good hot spark.......

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I'm just reluctant to advise anyone to apply raw battery charger power direct to the coil AS ITS VOLTAGE CAN BE HIGHER THEN THE BATTERY AND ITS DIRTY SPIKEY AND PULSATING, unlike what it is once filtered n buffered by a big honkin and stabilizing battery.

HOWEVER if you apply it ONLY WHILE the ingition is turned on, its then coupled to the battery via the Ign switch, which provides more protection (thats sorta like just having it on the battery then) then if you hang it on the coil to hot wire it when the Ign is off. I.E. if you put the charger on the coil as long as the ign switch is ON thats not so bad I JUST DONT LIKE TO HOT WIRE THE COIL DIRECT USING A DIRTY RAW POWER HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGER unless the ign is on, while I realize thats basically same as hooking charger to battery.

BOTTOM LINE: Sure it will likely work and not hurt anything, I (although I have prob done plenty things like that before lol) on the record here am NOT gonan tell you to do it unless the IGN is on. Of course if its not the engine would die if you removed the charger from the coil.

Today's Featured Article - Ford N-Series Transmission/Hydraulic Fluid - The Full Story - by Llamas. The transmission fluid in an “N”:-series tractor lubricates the transmission, differential, rear wheel bearings, PTO and hydraulic pump drive, and it also cats as the working fluid for the hydraulic lift. In 9N/2N models, it also lubricates the steering sector and shaft system. The owner’s manual for the 9N and 2N models specified the use of only two fluids. They were STRAIGHT MINERAL OIL SAE 90 (above freezing) and ... [Read Article]
