Electronic Conversion Kit

Yeah it is. Cool Then you probably have it all. I'm pretty conservative, so I'd use that ballast. When it gets hot, it will probably be more like 1.0 or maybe even .8 ohms. What that means is, it will drop voltage to the ECU more than say a .5 ohm. Those can sometimes deliver too much voltage to the ecu and burn it up, so I always err on the side of caution. Besides, if it fires the ecu and plugs with a 1.5 ballast and it will, ain't that enough? Let the arguments ensue. LOL

Shouldn't the coil primary resistance be taken into consideration when selecting a ballast resistor?

Here's a question I asked Rick Ehrenberg about the conversion kit I bought from him...

"Would it be a safe assumption that the resistor value plus the primary resistance value would be about 2.0 to 2.5 ohms allowing a mix and match of coils and resistors adding up to that....Or am I way off base?"

His answer was.........

"Your math is absolutely correct!
Rick"

Sorry, one more thing to think about.....Maybe time to switch to an HEI system :)
