Paul,

Does this just apply to the Crane coils which might have a different internal 
resistance anyway?

The whole point of a ballast resistor is to drop the input voltage to the 
coil under all circumstances other than cranking.  If a coil is internally 
ballasted how is the resistance by-passed under cranking?

 There is also another more complex method and I'll post it if there is
 interest.
