And the dual point distributor used the same coils and ballast resistor
The Essex had a primary resistance of 1.41 - 1.55 OHMs
The Prestolite 1.65 - 1.79 OHMs
Both used the same ballast resistor - 2095501
0.5 - 0.6 OHMs
Current Draw - Coil and Ballast in circuit - Engine Stopped 3.0 Amps
Engine Idling 1.9 Amps
