car won't start until I release the key from the cranking position.
I just found this posting after I decided to research this problem myself. After doing some voltage checks on my car I am only getting about 9.5 volts at the coil during cranking. I also noticed that my coil according to the polarity markings on it is connected backwards when checked with my meter observing polarity. According to Doctor Google I found some postings on other sites which claimed your car could still run, although you might have reduced spark and other performance issues? Could someone tell me also what voltage you should see at the coil when the car is running? I did measure 12vdc going into the ballast resistor.
