Hi all
Just doing a 3.9 rv8 conversion and want to clarify what you do with the coil feeds. I have fitted a 12v lucas 198 coil and am not sure what to do with the ballast resistance wire.
Do you cut it out and replace with a 12v feed? If so anyone got any pointers
Its a 1975 rubber bumper with 3.9 and 35dlm 3 pin dizzy
Merry xmas
As I mentioned in your other thread,

I believe this is a ballast coil, so it needs a ballasted feed.
Putting a constant 12V into a ballast coil will fry it.
Do sympathise with your problems, I had no-start issues with my engine, it's very annoying.
When you do get it going, there was an interesting thread about PCVs
