Trying to wrap my head around the advantages of a 12 volt system. Has anyone actually measured the voltage at the spark plug wires comparing a 6 volt to a 12 volt system? All the literature indicates, to my in experienced brain, that whether you have a 12 volt or 6 volt system the voltage at the spark plug is basically the same due to resistors on primary side of ignition wiring or a 12 volt coil that is wound to limit the current through the points. Is there any 12 volt system that actually raises the Spark plug voltage significantly above the voltage on the original 6 volt system?
