Thanks guys. It was really more of an academic question to help others as my 2606 with new points, condenser, coil, SP wires (3 years old anyway), and now new wiring actually takes off after 3 or 4 revolutions with the starter as long as it is choked. I'm just nursing a bad battery that won't hold a full charge in cold weather. With Christmas near and I only use it every couple weeks to move hay, I can get by with charger. I have a float charger on it all the time. Typically I remove the ground cable when not in use.
Karl, it does resemble a 656 in the caseih book except it is gas.
Owen first brought up the resistance wire a while back. I've been looking for it. Went to a Napa in Tulsa and they sent me to the regular wire on the rack. Told them no and they looked in the book, said they didn't stock it and referred me to wire on the rack again. I took the book away from them and it showed a number for some wire but then went on to say that resistance wire was basic wire that is 2 guages smaller and to splice in about 6" worth. I had a roll of 14 guage anyway so I ren it to the coil from the starter for now. 10 guage from the starter to ignition. Sill waiting to get to a parts store that caries resistance wire but getting by right now.
I agree on the redundant grounds as wire is cheap.
I agree about the charger clamps on a coil possibly being a problem but my question was just part of an academic discussion here. Probably the float charger would do the same thing with less harm.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
