GN - Here's how to determine coil/breaker point voltage: 1 - Connect one voltmeter lead to each of the two primary terminals on the coil. 2 - Pop the distributor cap, then manually rotate the crankshaft and observe the points - stop when the ignition points are closed. 3 - Now turn on the ignition - the voltmeter will read the voltage at the coil. Assuming you've got a 6 volt coil and ballast resistor, the meter should read somewhere near 6 or 7 volts. If it reads much higher than that, you've got a wrong (too low resistance) ballast resistor installed. Wire gage does not affect coil voltage unless wire gage is grossly undersized - in which case the wiring itself will get hot. Hope this helps...
