Again, PLEASE accept my apology. It says "6 volt, No external resistor required". As I stated before, I am by far an electrician neither home or automotive. YOU are the go to guy when it comes to that. You have explained to me what it is saying, meaning that there is NO resistor in the coil it is simply manufactured so as to operate with the system that I have. I am also clear as to how to check the voltage after closing the point gap. I hope that I have not offended you. PS: We are having a huge storm right now and I was standing in pouring rain, thunder and lightning to write this down word for word for you. Taking a pic was not really an option.
