I think you're over thinking the whole deal. These are not rocket science and
trying to make them rocket science is a waste. Just get a 6 volt coil from
Chev's of the 40's or place that specializes in that sort of thing and bolt it
up. You want enough spark to fire the plug, but especially on a babbitt
engine, a massive spark, and other high performance add ons could result in
premature engine wear.

I switched my electrical system back to 6 volts and so bought a new 6
volt coil from one of the vendors. It seems OK but not sure so I began looking
for a better one. As I started looking I discovered that I can't find 6 volt
coils but I can find 1.5 or 3.0 ohm coils. ?? So, I Googled everything I could
and never got a clear understanding of which I needed so I measured the coil I
got from the vendor and it is 1.5 ohm so I ordered a 40K Flame Thrower 1.5 ohm.
On the box it says "suitable for 8 cylinder engines. Use 3.0 ohm coil for 6 or
4 cylinder engines except for racing." Can anyone sort this out for me? I am
running 6 volts on a 216 6 cylinder engine.
Thanks,
Roy
