Hello I have a 1975 Rover P6 V8 automatic.
I am wondering what coil I should have on there?
it's getting 12 volts to the coil with the ignition on, so therefore not ballast resist.
I have a few non ballast resistor coils but across the terminals they are all 3 ohms.
The one on the car despite making arking noises reeds 1.5 ohms and 7k ohms at the HT. The other coils are around 7 or more K ohms.
Do you think I am able to use these newer coils despite the difference in ohms at the low tension or buy yet another new coil!!
I'd rather use one of the many nice shiny new coils I have in the drawer but don't want to burn anything out!
Many thanks.
