Cephas,
 
You don't require a BR with electronic ignition however you do need a coil that's designed to be run with electronic ignition as they are different to a BR coil. The best one to use is off the same donor for the dizzy, but similar equipped cars from the same manufacturer are usually OK.

Terry

Subject: Balast resistor required?

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
