what coil V6 3000
Discussion
what i would like to know is how do you decide what coil to fit.
On my 3000S it has "Piranha Electronic Ignition" but the ballast resistor is still wired in to the circuit.
The coil that has been fitted is "202 12V Ballast ident on bottom B/1624 1211".
Surely it should be a 9 Volt coil for the Ballast and also a high resistance above 1.5 for the Electronic Ignition.
The question is, should i bin the Ballast and fit a High resistance coil .
When i drive the car and it's cold no problem but when it has warmed up it starts to miss at low revs and the Coil gets very very hot.

thanks Whitewolf,
that's exactly what i thought i would do.
Bin Ballast and the 2 condensers either side of coil bracket.
Fit new 12V coil with 1.5 ohms to 3.0 ohms . Position it as high and as far away as possible from the exhaust manifold to be cool.
I borrowed the normal coil from my 1600M and took the 3000S for a run along the Brittany Coast with the Hood down.
Fantastic with the music from the V6, who needs a Radio
