As previously discussed I RECOMMEND YOU WIRE IT AS FOLL0WS:
Ignition IGN output switch to Ballast Input.
Ballast Output to Coils Input (+ if Neg Ground, - if Pos Ground)
Coils Output (- if Neg Ground, + if Pos Ground) to Distributor
IE BALLAST GOES AFTER IGN AND BEFORE COIL NOT BETWEEN COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR
I CAN NOT IN GOOD FAITH RECOMMEND YOU PLACE THE BALLAST BETWEEN THE COIL AND DISTRIBUTOR, SORRY
Fun discussion, hey IT WILL WORK EITEHR WAY
BUT
I HAVE NEVERRRRRRRRR seen a ballast placed between coil and distributor on these old points and coil ignitions I REPEAT NEVER... Somewhere I once read some info with scope traces explaining the ringing oscillation that took place between the coils primary and condensor in that primrily LC circuit and a discussion of that energy transfer which, by the way, allows for more spark energy then if a condensor isnt used.
Dont forget, Im NOTTTTT talking about solid state electronic ignition that doesnt use points in paralell with a condensor.
So, there you have it its your tractor do as you please (then maybe I can see the first one with ballast between coil and distributor lol) and YES it will still work. Unless and until a true bona fide Kettering Ignition Expert can convince me (and it takes MORE then a paragraph here) it should go between coil and distributor.
Thats my story and by golly Ima stickin to it, so its your tractor now feel free to wire it as you see fit and choose whom you decide to go with, hey its still a free country (Unless Socialism takes over as many seem to desire). I will continue to recomemend what I believe is best......I am here to try and help NOT do harm
