bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
now the two lower pictures are under bypass the register , so both ways do so ? or am I reading it wrong ? I've had a 12v coil in for a bit now and idk if my electrical issues are from this or not , so I'm going to bypass to see if it correct s any that seem to pop up and then go away only to pop up again . so hopefully this will fix any issues .

oops I meant resistor

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
Are you installing an electronic ignition so that you need a full 12 volts? If not, bypassing the resistor sends 12 volts to the coil which might burn the points. Experts here can (and should) correct me but I thought the stock coil wants to see about 8 volts.

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
Both will bypass the resistor, but I don't like either.
All that is necessary is to move all the wires on the resistor to one end.

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
will it cause fire issue ? ok I guess things r a bit more complicated . first I've put on ss breaded hose slips on . thought maybe I was grounding with car so I pulled back all touching ss from any touching of the body . also I've been behind the raido into electrical to fix heater issue . then I've noticed I've blown the too fuse a couple times and the third fuse top being #1 has popped out of contact a couple times not blowing fuse but separating contact . now I've "bypassed the resister and it only fires sometimes and doesn't stay on . then will turn over getting dwell reading but .... checked outgoing fuel line and it's slowing down so I blasted it with my compressor . is this too much change to pinpoint on here ? I'm still just turning over with limited fire and to stall out again. ?? any ideas

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
oh and no . just a while ago ,reason the coil being new , I've had something I don't know going on I thought was electrical in the past so I was throwing parts at it with new condenser and coil . so that's why it's in . oh and my amps inside car on dash , has been jumping up and down . now after this trip I got my SS braided slips in and have put them on and blown fuse right before this . so I've kinda looked through my wires to see if there's a reason for all this . bypass resister and now only turning over with limited fire . good dwell as I see it . reading 26(×2) from 8cyl scale .

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
oh and yesterday before I did anything , I had basically no dwell read . that's why I'm inside wires and distrubutor

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
wait it's firing now ! I dono what I did but adjust dwell larger read is what I'll do next . is at 30 now . going to put it back to 50 so hopefully it'll stay and be ok now .

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
ok hate to admit it but I think it was outflowing fuel line again. But bypassing the resister has brought my amps normal I think . at least for now it's not jumping all crazy .... thanks . like anything it seems , ask and the symptoms go away . . why is that . . well heck thanks . it's running again .

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
I think now that I have a new alternator I'm putting it back on to see what's up now !! If u don't like it , I don't like it let's see if the car likes it . Nothing's amiss , I would rather have it the way it was built if possible . I'm sure they knew what they were doing . I do have a 12v coil now though so we'll see .fj20spl311 wrote:Both will bypass the resistor, but I don't like either.

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
Your coil either has an internal resister and therefore requires you to by-pass the resistor or it doesn't.
Most 12v coils have an internal resister.

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
PS: I was not saying anything about by-pass or not.....just the method.

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
How do I find out ? My alternator failing could have been causing the old issues I had , but idk still . I'm pulling back some settings that we're not quite textbook measurements because the car responded better . Just trying some things to learn more on the car . .

Re: bypass register to coil to fix electrical issues hopefully.
Measure the voltage at the dizzy where the capacitor (e.g. the condenser) attaches.
With the ignition key in the on position it should read 8 volts.
If it reads 12 volts, you want the resistor in line to the coil to lower the voltage or your points will wear quickly.
If it reads less than 8 there is something amiss
