Balast resistor required?

[Cephas Rodgers]

Listers,   I am new to the listing and I was hoping someone could help me out.   I am working with a friend on a Z18 conversion. The motor etc was bought as a going concern and of course it wasn't. The latest problem (after finally having it run for an hour or so) is that the coil has failed. We put in a new (second hand) one and hey presto it now works but the question arose do we need a balast resistor or not. It appears from reading through the previous listings that if it is an electronic distributor you do NOT need a resistor but you do for points.   The bottom end and Turbo is a Z18. The head, injection system and electronic distributor are from a Pintara. The computer is a Microtech Digi 1.   Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance,   Cephas Rodgers --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
