Engine is in. Everything is ready.
But I don't get any spark. Coil seems to be okay. I need to know if there is anyway to test the mallory? I am not getting any power to the plugs. I have tried putting a timing light on the plug wires and putting the timing light on the wire from the coil to the mallory just to see if there is currant, which there is not... I am getting power to the coil. I am SO CLOSE!!!! I just need to get this bitch running. Zach |

And internal ballast creates resistance.
Its also called a resistor. This resistance needs to be in the system in order for your electronic sensor to function. You have two choices. 1 is buy the correct resistor and put it inline like the manual says...or you could just hand it to Dr Evil and have him wire it up. 2, you could buy a different coil that has the built in resistance you need....but the risk of that is you WILL forget when the coil gets replaced down the road...
