Ok im pretty confused now Ive been reading on this site and other sites about the coil....I bought an accel 8140 12V coil to put in but i dont know if i still need the ballast resistor im pretty sure I do i have one on the car that isnt hooked up to anything how can i check to see if its still good and if it is then how is it wired to the coil. I bought new condensor, points, rotor and spark plug and wires the site says the plugs need to be gapped at .028 but they come gapped at .040 should I reduce the gap??? any help will be appreciated!
