Coil Voltage!!! Wtf!

THANKS for the info....I willtry these tonight and let you know the results tommorow. As for myself, i thought i might have a defective coil, so i am going to buy another one and try it out to eliminate that possibility.

I have tried this also with the 2 wires from the second strike box dis-connected, and i had the same readings. So i will disconnect it and use the new coil and see what happens.

As for the ballast resistor (by this I am guessing the ceramic looking block on the firewall.??)) it is still plugged in with the factory harnesses that plug into it. Should it be omitted and have a wire jumped? If so..which wires?

I noticed that it was getting rather hot when we hooked on the battery and began testing....so we swapped it with the one from my bro's duster and had the same issue.

Should it be omitted??
