I run my car (72 240Z) with Lumentition Electronic Ignition and a Micro Dynamics Coil.
I still keep the ballast resistor in circuit and everything is fine.
My coil reads 'For use with all 12v ignition systems' so I'm assuming it's a 12v coil. Is it running at optimum performance with a ballast resistor in circuit - I doubt it?
Last week I tried a 280ZX distributor and coil - ballast resistor out of circuit - fine no probs.
So I tried my existing system with ballast out of circuit and it ran fine but the Rev-counter doesn't read above 4k!
I can't tell any difference performance-wise with the ballast resistor in or out of circuit!
Any clue why the rev-counter plays up without the ballast resistor?
