Default Re: 12volt conversion question ballast resistor

I've been thinking about getting a 1.5 ohm Pertronix #40111 [ thanks to Purdy] this winter and trying it just for the heck of it to see if there any difference.

Back on subject. The key is voltage at the points. There is no such thing as 6 or 12 volt points/condenser. The key is having no more than 8 volts at them regardless of system voltage. Thats why there are 3.0 and 1.5 ohm coils and ballast resisters [or resistance wire].
