1. calling electrical engineers... (score: 1): Author: "Geoff Branch" <gjbranch@comcast.net>; Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2006 19:54:49 -0400; What will happen if I use a 6V ignition coil in a 12V system? I can understand not using a 12v coil in a 6v system, but seem to think that this way should be ok?? Geoff Branch '74 Meejit '72 Innocent; /html/spridgets/2006-07/msg00252.html (7,432 bytes)

Most resistor type coils are designed to run on less than the nominal 12 volts of your car system. When the resistor is cold, it passes higher voltage, s; /html/spridgets/2006-07/msg00261.html (8,592 bytes)

Apparently this is adequate to detain the back emf on the secondary ignition system and keep the poi; /html/spridgets/2006-07/msg00262.html (8,424 bytes)
