Testing the voltage to the coil on my chevrolet engined 40 showed it was only receiving around 7 to 8 volts from a healthy battery. Testing either side of the ballast resister revealed it was the culprit and I bypassed it. The car now starts beautifully for the first time ever - but my question is: will I damage something by removing the resister? I don't think the coil I have requires one....
