Hey Electrical Gurus, you out there???

You ever notice how Mother Mopar always put the ballast where the hood will drop water on it when you pop it open? I think the math works out to; Hot Ballast+Cold Water=Walking.

LOL!!! ill def. keep that in mind, Rev!!

The BR is there to protect the coil during normal operation (and points if you have them). It doesn't require a full 12v when running which is why you don't see battery voltage when running. It keeps the coil cooler and increases service life. The reason you see 12v when cranking is to provide a hotter spark to ease starting.

Thanks Rev...only reason i was thinkin about removing the BR or getting a lower impedance BR; is with just 8.6 volts, it seemed to me that i was leaving spark energy on the table...meaning horsepower. but, from the sounds of all posts that just way it's supposed to be.

Get a better coil. (Think MSD Blaster 2)

Rev, is there a "stock looking" coil that's akin to the blaster (or reasonable facsimile?)
