How do I tell if a 12v coil has an internal resistor or not?
I have a Ford 3000 gas burner 3 cylinder I suspect the coil is bad. I would like to replace it. Looking at coils on line there are two types of coils for sale. One with no external resistor and one with. I can't tell which I have on the tractor. I seem to remember years ago the visable difference is how tall the center of the coil is.
On a side question could the resistor be in the wire instead of a ceramic type?
