Dell, When you move the resistor to the high side of the coil, you don't change the RC time constant. The current still has to go through the resistor. If the resistor is between the battery and the coil, the current path (with the points open) is battery->resistor->coil->condensor->ground->battery. If you move the resistor between the coil and the distributor, the path is battery->coil->resistor->condensor->ground->battery. In either case, the "R" in RC is the sum of the resistance of the primary field and the resistor, plus any bad connections. When the points open, the current going through the coil has to find another path, and that path is the condensor. The rest of the path is unchanged when the points open. Best regards, mark

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
