points and condensors.... on 12 v conversion

If I change a 6v tractor over to 12v with a resistor coil, will the points handle it or do I have to change them too? IF I do, how do I figure out what are the correct 12v points for it as all parts listings would be for 6v?
 
Depend on what tractor you are working on- check the 12 volt condensor parts listing. Extra external condensor on coil could help if using the 6 volt points and condensor for test run. A couple conversion kits have a resistor coil set to work with a few 6 volt systems advertised. The Genesco kits can be had with solid state distributor sensor triggers. IHC 12 volt conversions for H and M noted to use 300, 400 ignition part numbers. RN
 
Points are all 6v. That's part of the reason for the resistor on the hot side of a 12v coil (whether inline or internal). The rest of the tractor is 12v, but ignition is always 6v.
 
I have always just bought a coil that has an internal resistor. Then, put points in like normal. I usually get a coil for a Kohler engine. For example a 10, 12, or 14 horsepower engine. I am sure someone will say this is wrong but I have yet to have a single problem with it. Plus, you won't have to buy the external resistor.
