If i use a 12volt coil in the conversion, which mounts mounts on top of the distributor, do i need to use any resistor at all? Can i bypass the terminal block resistor and just use the new style?
Using the term block resister as a 1st primary resistor and then using the new one as a secondary, in line between terminal block and coil, is putting two resistors in line before the coil. [b:a49d31dfd8]Isnt that gonna knock the voltage down too low??[/b:a49d31dfd8]
Some of the wiring diagrams show using both. One shows bypassing the old terminal block resister and just using a junction block with the new resistor in line to the coil. The last one i looked at shows now using any resitor at all.
Bear in mind that its a top mount 12V coil that does not have a biult in resitor to my knowledge. I remember the old chevys had the resistor mounted up on the firewall as the new alternators had not yet integrated them in. Not sure how to proceed.
