Hey guys! I recently picked up a TA22 with a 2-TGEU in it. It's got an electric dizzy but still has the ballast? Would this be restricting the spark to 9v? If so could I pick up a new 12v coil and remove the ballast?

 

Cheers!

So.. when you say 'electric dizzy', is that a transistorised (electronic) one without points?

 

You're right, the reisistor will normally reduce the voltage to the coil, and the coil is designed to run on that then start on 'over-voltage'.

 

I took my power for the electronic unit from the +ve side of the resistor, which cut it out of the circuit.

I took another look and found out its a Pertronix unit. Is there a specific coil I should get or will any 12v coil suffice..?

 

Cheers
