For those of you that know this sort of thing.... I put the coil off my 2.0l 6 onto the 2.4l. I would think they are the same, but I am just checking with the pros as to if that could be causing my problems.

Hey John, as I understand the systems they used (and we are talking /6 systems), the early cars '65 - '67? used a conventional point / coil system. The coil is fed 12 VDC with an internal resistor (Bosch Blue) or other cars an external resistor which drops the 12 VDC to about 9 VDC feeding the coil.
If you feed the conventional system 12 VDC it will burn the points, possibly the center electode of the cap, etc. And yes I did it many years ago and found this out. The CDI system uses a transformer (not called a coil in the books). It is fed 300 - 400 VDC by the CDI box. Using a "Coil" from an earlier car with a CDI could feasibly overheat it and short the windings (pure speculation on my part). Take this information for what you want .... |
