The alternator, while it is still spinning, can potentially (!) feed some current to the coil with the ignition off. But with the re; /html/mgs/1999-06/msg00344.html (9,752 bytes)

On my 73 roadster (stock ignition, unballasted coil) the ignition warning light comes on at full brightness as soon as I turn off the ignition and the white circuit drops to about 0.5v while the; /html/mgs/1999-06/msg00348.html (9,225 bytes)
