...For now I'm simply going to install the resistor and ignore the "need" for the additional starting voltage provided to the coil from the solenoid during 'cranking'. If the voltages and current work out I'm all set...
You may not need the extra boost voltage from the starter solenoid ballast resistor bypass with that high performance Crane Cams PS20 coil. Even with the external ballast resistor in the circuit the coil output may be sufficient to promote easy starting.
- 20-50% higher energy at spark plug than typical stock coils. Gives improved starting, better throttle response, and more high end power. Tested to conform to SAE J973a test procedure.
- Oil filled for maximum cooling of internal windings and high reliability.
- Windings optimized with computer aided design for maximum spark gap current and high available voltage.
- Alkyd coil towers. Alkyd coil towers eliminate failure from flash over and carbon tracking.
