1. Spark (score: 1): Author: "Larry G. Miller" <millerls@classic.msn.com>; Date: Wed, 5 Nov 97 23:23:26 UT; O.K. who's going to explain the inner workings of the distributor/coil/resistor/points/condenser relationship in laymen terms for all of us dummies. After talking to the parts/tech person where I bou; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00115.html (8,775 bytes)

Re: Spark (score: 1): Author: Frank Clarici <spritenut@Exit109.com>; Date: Wed, 05 Nov 1997 20:56:23 -0500; Larry CB= contact breaker (points) and it should be the + side on a Positive grd car CB would be SW on a converted Neg grd converted car (confused yet) Negative ground Sprite goes like this...- or SW; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00121.html (8,839 bytes)
3. RE: Spark (score: 1): Author: "Larry G. Miller" <millerls@classic.msn.com>; Date: Thu, 6 Nov 97 02:30:49 UT; Thanks Frank. The coil is new and the connectors are tight. Just wanted to verify that "+" was the Contact Breaker side on a positive ground car. When I installed the coil I unthinkingly followed the; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00126.html (9,129 bytes)
4. Re: Spark (score: 1): Author: Nory@webtv.net (Nory); Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 01:49:47 -0500; I can only help with your last question. I'm guessing your resistor is there for the same reason mine is: the car's resistance wire failed/burned up/shorted out/etc......

Some Midgets (like mine) had both types of resistors. The ballast resistor is the usual hidden-in-the-harness type. There is also a cer; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00133.html (8,883 bytes)
6. Re: Spark (score: 1): Author: Brian Evans <brian@uunet.ca>; Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 07:57:59 -0500; resistor coils. I don't know when, I suspect around 1969. Both types give about 9 volts to the coil under normal operating conditions. Using an internal resistor with an external resistor as well (w; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00137.html (9,921 bytes)
7. Re: Spark (score: 1): Author: Nory@webtv.net (Nory); Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 10:22:25 -0500; I think you're mistaken about the year they changed to an external resistor. My '71 and '74 have resistance wire, so I don't think it was '69. I suspect it may have been in '75 when the rubber bumpe; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00145.html (8,002 bytes)
8. RE: Spark (score: 1): Author: "Larry G. Miller" <millerls@classic.msn.com>; Date: Thu, 6 Nov 97 16:40:17 UT; The coil is the external resistor type and the resistor/ballast that came with the coil is a ceramic block and is wired between the coil and distributor. I discovered last night that the coil is wir; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00152.html (10,839 bytes)
9. RE: Spark (score: 1): Author: Brian Evans <brian@uunet.ca>; Date: Thu, 6 Nov 1997 14:28:55 -0500; Should be fine, then - just double check that the infamous resistor wire isn't hidden in the wiring harness. Then you'd have double resistance, etc. This made me remember that my MGB (a 1979 LE) has; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00158.html (8,498 bytes)
10. Re: Spark (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Thu, 06 Nov 1997 17:50:15 -0500; Well, not quite true. Early cars used coils with a different turns ratio. When the ballast concept was developed/stolen, the turns ratio was changed in the coil to make it work. It's not really an "i; /html/spridgets/1997-11/msg00164.html (9,389 bytes)

Internal resistor coils should have full battery voltage to them with the key on or the car running.
