How to drop voltage with 12 volt conversion DELL HELP

Yes, you may wire in your 12 to 6 volt converting resistor before the ballast resistor on the terminal block, or after the terminal block on the way to the coil. Electrons don't care who goes first.

If you have installed your 2 resistors in series like flashlight batterys, I don't know what your problem is. I gave you the necessary voltage check readings. You've gotta help too.

If you are frequently and consistantly having to replace your ignition points, you may have an oil contamination problem on the points..... ....respectfully, Dell

1st off, it don't matter electrically which resistor is first or last. But it sure nuff does matter that they are the correct resistance. They don't have to be the same resistance and probably should not.

2nd, resistors should be hooked up in series like flashlight batterys.

3rd, if in fact you do have 2 ballast resistors in series, your going to be burning out your ignition coil before you burn out your ignition points.

4th, not all resistors are ballast resistors.

5th, a 12 to 6 volt converting resistor is generally about 3 ohms. And that is not too critical.

6th, if your 12 volt conversion was done correctly, you should read abut 3 volts (2.5 min, 3.5 max) at the coil terminal with the points closed and 12 volts with the points open. Any other voltage reading gonna cause a whole lotta problems..... ..... Dell
