Worked over burnt 88, burning up points like crazy after rewiring, do not have resister on it. Does resister go in line between ignition switch and coil or between coil and distributor?
Thanks,

I looked at the placement of my resister this morning. It is between the coil and the distributor.

Get a 12 volt coil they are not that expensive. And less mantainance

I have never seen a resistor in any of the oliver wiring going to the ignition. But I have seen where a coil has been wired backwards and cause exactly the same thing. On a positive ground system make sure that the + side of the coil goes to the distrbutor. Because of the polarity difference from what we are used to in a mostly negatively grounded systems that exist a lot of people have trouble understanding that the polarity of the coil also has to be switched to match. The tractor that I worked on had also been in a fire and was rewired but the coil had been wired backwards and burnt the points at a very fast rate after I switched the wires on the coil it immeditally stopped burning the points and operated normally. I hope this helps Good Luck Shadetree.

You should always put the resister between the ignition and coil. You dont want full power going to your coil

Bob , like shadetree said , you wouldn't put a resister going to the ignition. You would want to slow down the electric to the points only. That is where the problem is. Too much electric on the contacts are burning up the points. Now , my coil is hooked up properly. I've also replaced the condencer , thinking it was bad. My points would still burn up. Installing the resister solved the problem. I will look tomorrow to verify that I installed the resister between the coil and the distibutor like I said in my earlyer reply. Then I will reply to this posting again . Remember , you don't want to try slowing down the flow of electric to the spark plugs or anything else. Only the points. By the way , Shadetree is right about the coil , "positive ground" positive terminal goes to distributor. "negetive ground" negetive terminal goes to the distributor.

My "770" would burn up a set of points per year. Since I had put a resister in the electrical system , a set of points will last about 3 years. You need to cut the voltage going to the points. With out going out and looking , I'm 99.9% shure that I installed the resister between the coil and the distributor.
