Coil Resistance

[Bill Goddard]

Thanks for all the good replies.
I am currently using a 1.5 amp coil from Bratton's with a ceramic ballast wired in series in the red line passenger side -- negative ground.
Road test shows coil heats to 129 degrees F. I can hold my hand on it for several seconds -much hotter would hurt!
The coil is mounted upside down with terminals down. I believe it is an oil-filled coil. I didn't think to shake it before I put it in. I think I will be ok with this arrangement. Bill G
