As I understand it, standard points ignition systems typically use a lower voltage coil and electronic ignition systems use higher voltage coils.
Could a points ignition system be upgraded with a high voltage coil? If so, what would the voltage limit be? And, would a ballast resistor be required? Has anyone made this change?
I seem to recall that a ballast resistor helps generate a higher voltage at start up - probably for cold start / emissions reductions reasons. Is this correct, or does it serve other purposes?
