Thanks for the advice. There is no resistor anymore since I now have a 12V coil, but I think I could do what you said about the diode anyway. It is about 25 to 30 degrees F here today. I did check the battery voltage and it seemed to be dropping into the 10.2-10.6 volt range when cranking for 2 seconds. When cranking for 5 or 6 seconds it dropped momentarily into the 9 range but then bounced back. I checked the terminals on the switch and have 12.4 on the ammeter side and 12.2 on the coil side when the switch is pulled. I do not know if that is normal or not. I put in new points, condenser, cap and rotor in the summer and I think I may replace the points and condenser again to see if that helps, and also I will get a better switch at NAPA. They had a $5 one and a $14 one and I got the cheap one at the time. Thank you very much. Zach

You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
