Re: 12V Ignition to Factory Modules

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Have always been told full 12v will generally cook a factory ignition
module, and have yet to see evidence otherwise. Thus my practice is to
leave ballast resistors (resistance wire in my Lincolns) in place
UNLESS module is changed too. Have one car burning complete Pertronix
system -- coil and replacement module -- at full voltage. All the
others remain 10v as they left the factory. Does cut down on final
ignition voltage, but I figured closer to 35,000 volts from a coil
otherwise rated 45,000.
