a friend of mine has a mid 50s farmall C, it has been converted to 12v but it keeps burning up coils, there is a white ceramic resister(i think thats what its called) in the wire going to the coil, but i think they are still running a 6v coil, my Question is if i put a 12v coil on it do i need the resister? and do i need to change the points or condenser? any other help would be great, this lady is in her late 70s and still lives/works on her cattle farm, and i like to help out when i can,,,,thanks shan

i recently converted my ford 2n to 12 volt changed the coil and all new wiring. the thing would not start until i put a .5 OHM resistor in line to make it run. I am anxious to hear the replies you get because my C is next on the list to be converted.

go to the local parts house and get a 12 volt coil with a internal resistor.I put one on my Super C and haven't had a problem.I was told all point systems ran on the same voltage which was very low,something like 3.5 volts.BUT,make sure it is an internal resistor type.

By definition, a 12V coil is an "internal resistor" type. Otherwise, it would be a 6V coil that required an external resistor.
