Youre right, it might?? foul less BUT ONLY FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE POINTS BURNED UP (thats if you increase the current draw). Points can switch around 4 amps (and still have a decent lifespan) or so but if you increase the coil current by using a high energy coil that draws more amps, they will burn up quicker. Thats why its best to use an electronic switch which can handle more amps then points were designed for and when its matched with a high energy high voltage coil and a wider plug gap is used THEN YOU GET THE REAL ADVANTAGE and get all the bang for the buck an elec switch and high energy coil have to offer....... Sure one can widen the plug gap with a stock coil and perhaps gain some improvement, but the laws of physics and conservation of energy apply and theres only a fixed finite amount of energy stored in the coil during its conduction cycle and thats alllllllll (less heat losses) the energy available for discharge across the plug gap. Therefore, if you widen the plug gap increrasing the firing voltage, then either current or the arc duration time decreases since the energy discharged is volts x amps x time..
Dont get me wrong THERES NO HARM in running a high voltage coil if it doesnt draw much more current then the points were designed to switch although it still fires at the same voltage as the stock coil if compression and gap remains the same. Its just that if you use coils that draw more amps the points will burn up prematurely

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that this Major was produced late 1946. It was almost complete but had various parts that would definitely need replacing.
