From Moss Motoring 1983 Having your points or condenser go bad is a problem at the best of times, but when you are on a trip and its raining or dark, the task of installing new ones is even more difficult. One way to make the job easier is to obtain a spare contact breaker…
From Moss Motoring 1984 Function: The function of the points is to make and break the electrical circuit to the coil. Each time the points open, the circuit is broken, causing the magnetic field around the ignition coil to collapse. When this field collapses, a high voltage spark is created that fires the spark plug….
Ballast Resistor The purpose of the ballast resistor is to reduce voltage going to the coil. Not all cars have a ballast resistor. If your coil has three wires connected to it, chances are that one of them is for a ballast resistor. If the ballast resistor is bad, the car may start but die…
