Thanks,
I found my dodge compensating resistor I carried in my aspen
wagon is 1.25 ohms.
Your diagram is showing 0.5 ohms.
If I put the 1.25 ohm resistor in series with my new 6v coil,
the primary current is close to 5 amps.
The Amazon ballast was supposed to be 1.5 ohms, turned out to be
.9 ohms. That ballast in series with the new 6v coil drew 6 amps
and got very hot very fast.

Something is rattling in my brain thinking the primary current
for a 6v coil was closer to 4 amps.

I need to do more testing.
I will be posting my results..
