Or whatever the thing is called. What does it do on a 12 volt system? I thought they were for a 12 volt conversion with a 6 volt coil. I intially started the 460 with a 12 volt coil off my M which has had a 12 volt conversion with alternator, I did not wire through the resistor. The 460 is factory 12 volt with generator. Originally equipped with a resistor. I do not know the voltage of the 460 coil. The 12 volt coil off the M says on the coil "for use with external resistor", and was wired that way on the M. After I got the 460 running, I put the original coil back on and wired it thru the resistor. It would start, but the longest it ran was for about 5 seconds, started and died in a second or two several times. So I reinstalled the one from the M WITHOUT the resistor. Runs fine--will I burn the points, condensor or something or should I use the resistor? If the 460 actually has a 12 volt coil the answer is obvious, since it came that way, it is in the parts book. But why?
