Crane hi6 accel coil triggerd by point dist

You need to specifically look up that coil. Some of those big coils (like some of the Accel and the old Mallory) REQUIRE TWO ballasts---the one it came with plus the stocker. In the early 70's I was witness to a Mallory coil blowing up all over an engine bay --because no ballast

Example: The big traditional Accel "Super coil" 14001

Yep, back in the day when I ran an Accel Super Coil, I retained the stock ballast resistor and added the one that came with the coil.
