- Your ballast resistor picture is not quite correct. It would typically be in series in the primary circuit. Since most systems have a feature to bypass the resistor during starting, they would typic

- Well, I can't speak from experience about a Midget, but I have run into this installing a Lumenition ignition on both my TR-8 and a friends Lancia Scorpion. (The Lancia has convinced me that there a

- Y'know, I've always wondered why I often see ads like "Lancia Beta - Leather seats, good running cond, a little rust - $300". I never investigated just because they're so cheap... I found out how muc

- The coil and ballast resistor would be in series, so each ohm of total resistance drops an equal amount of voltage. This means that to get a 4 volt drop across the ballast resistor, you need to have
