Title: ballast resistor
Post by: pellt on June 06, 2009, 12:05:35 PM
 sjvwc.ico Any info on Empi Accu-fire? I have one in my 009 with a MSD SS Blaster coil and without a resistor, the coil and dist get hot, with a 1.5 ohm resistor the resistor gets REAL hot, does the bosch blue coil with internal resistor have 3 ohms resistance? The pickup instructions say use a coil that is ok for points (1.5 to 3 ohms) ????? vwlogo
