I have previously posted about having issues with my new electronic distributor (similar to the DiscoTech model). I think I have narrowed down my problem to the coil producing weak and intermittant spark. I think issues with resistance may have prematurely killed the coil, or it could just be that Accel products totally bite, which is what I am leaning to believe. Also, I am NOT using a ballast resistor, bypassed that today per the distributor mfgs recommendation.
So my question is: given I am using this DiscoTech style electronic distributor (I can't find any specs on resistance but they sold me the unit recommended to work my Accel coil which was 1.3ohms primary) can someone recommend specs for a replacement coil before I hit Napa today?
1) Do I want epoxy or oil?
2) Ballast coil or non-ballast coil? I'm assuming non-ballast since electronic modules like the juice.
3) Should I stick around 1.3ohms primary resistance? I see they are commonly available in 1.3 or 3.
Thanks mucho!
