Hi, I just ordered a crane Fireball ignition system and the instructions talk at length about coil resistances and the need for a resistor. I have several coils in my parts bin, but I'm not sure they're right. Crane says that if one is not sure, one should use a resistor. That's what I would like to do. Does anyone have an application that I can give at my Flaps for them to find a part that will work ? i.e. if I walk into the Flaps and ask for an ignition resistor for a 1972 BMW 2002, will I end up with what I need: a 1.8 ohm (approximately) automotive grade resistor that I can bolt somewhere and wire in line with the positive lead to my coil. TIA Michel Richard p.s. this is not for the 914-6 twin plug short stroke . . . I'm getting a twin plug distributor and will run twin CDI boxes on that car ! |

Michel,
I too am running the Crane unit. Please let me know what Crane tells you. I have cooked more than a few coils. I have a external ballast resister I can use, but not sure if it is the right one. Here is one http://www.hot-spark.com/HS14BR.htm |
