Jon,

Yes, that is exactly what I mean.

If she is borderline, you let off the starter, the engine is still spinning just a bit, and now all of a sudden we have ignition at the points because we don't have that starter a hoggin' all the juice.

A lot of automotive applications that used points and 12-volt systems would "bypass" that ignition resistor during cranking and feed a full 12 volts to the coil.

If you have ever noticed a GM starter solenoid with the extra little connector lug, this is what it was used for in years gone by. It would jump 12 volts directly to the coil primary circuit.

Same way with the Ford starter relays. Chrysler products grabbed the voltage directly from the starter’s electrical connection block.

No, I'm not good; I'm old. :>)

Hope ya get 'er goin',

Allan
