Re: Coil voltage high engine running

If you're getting suitable lifetime out of the points then your resistance wire should be good to go.
I only have a couple of miles on the truck, it's pretty fresh out of a field
Haven't even replaced the points yet, just cleaned and adjusted.

I have a yellow wire by itself on the positive side of the coil. Red and purple down at the starter where the diagram shows yellow and purple, apparently someone has been in here before.

I'll dig a little deeper after dinner
