I don't know what the resistances of those windings are supposed to be, but on the old rusty spare I measured close to zero on the primary and about 10k ohm on the secondary. > The coil you have on there now is probably not a good choice to > leave in place.

The old Borg Warner coil I have on there has a label that indicates it is to be used without a resistor. But I'll go to the store and get a Bosch and just keep the old coil handy as a spare. I guess I'll just get one of those blue coils and hope it lasts longer than the one I just tossed. -Mark Fuhriman ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
