I am trying to find out about an odd Lucas coil I have - it is a finned aluminum case around a standard coil, marked "High Energy Coil" It is probably early to mid 50s. The Lucas part number is 45044

There is no external second connection for the secondary winding, it is internally connected to the CB or -ve terminal, not the coil body. With a 12v coil (i.e. chrome bumper cars) you should see 12v

Hi all, Getting my new Bosch dist. tomorrow so I decided to replace the one I took from my MGB which is 29yrs old with a Sport coil type. Bosch have just re-released their GT40 in the round style so

Unusual for the Bosch to be wrong - they are usually so I suspect ballast resistors hadn't been invented when MGAs were in production. Certainly, MG didn't fit coils that used them until 1975. Lawrie

Be careful how you read their instructions. Catalog writers,both Bosch and Lucas, use imprecise language at best. Coils either HAVE a ballast resistor in them, or require an external resistor. The la

So what is the function of a Ballast Resistor? ( must have something to do with smoke regulation). Just disassembled a Unipart coil as supplied by Moss for MGA's. No sign of a resistor, just a coil,

Do I understand you correctly? Are you saying ALL coils either have a ballast resistor in them or use an external ballast resistor? That would be the first time I've heard that and, I'll admit, I'm

When you use the starter to crank the engine, it uses so much energy, the remaining voltage only runs around 9 volts. Most car engines will start and run okay on this 9 volts, but, just to make sure,

A coil is either a 12v coil or a 6v coil. If it is 6v coil used on a 12v system then an external ballast - usually a length of resistance wire contained within the loom - is required. Whether a coil

I'm thinking of using a Lucas sport high output coil in my 80 B. The info in the catalogs tells me that the ballast resistor must be removed. Where do I find this beast? I have the standard electroni

If the car is a 72 onward MG it is set up for a 6 volt coil. It will either have a ballast resistor, which is a white block approx 2 ins long close to the coil, or a length of resistive wire built in
