Ignition Electrical Question....

I would run the .7. Rusty have you ever checked that rig for harness voltage drop, or measured normalized charging voltage?

Couple other things you never hear about

I don't believe in overly long harness leads to/ from the ECU, either for power pickup leads, or the coil NEG wire. And I don't believe in long coil secondary wire, either.

AND everyboy claims the coil + capacitor is "just for radio supression. I do not buy that. The coil + needs a low impedance path to promote strong spark, because when the NEG side of the coil is opened by the points/ ECU, that is when the spark is generated, and the current in that circuit must go all the way back to the battery to ground. I believe that the proper value cap at the coil+ will help that tank circulating current AKA "flywheel effect" of the pulse.


Once, I thought I was wrong, but I was only mistaken
I checked battery voltage VS voltage at the run side of the ballast today. Battery voltage was 12.7 and voltage at the run side of the ballast was just about exactly 1 volt less. This was static with the engine not running and the ignition in the run position.
