12 V coil

["G Spencer" <graham_spens@hotmail.com>]

So, if I run a 12v coil (for the sake of argument and so I can make sense of 
this) WITHOUT a resistor, that's ok, and if I run a 6v WITH a resistor, 
that's ok, on any model TR6, BUT since the car in question is a 73, then in 
order to take advantage of (better starting/cranking?)due to the starter 
solenoid I need to keep running the 6v with the resistor.  Is that basically 
right?

Thanks,
