Coil from 6v to 12v #1299632 02/19/2019 1:02 PM

BigHog 'Bolter B Joined: Feb 2019 Posts: 53 Virginia	Someone has previously, done a 6v to 12v conversion on my truck. The current setup has a coil marked "for use with external resistor" with of course an external resistor. The coil on there appears to be leaking some oil. I have an MSD blaster 2 that I would like to use to replace the current coil. If I do use the MSD coil, do I still need the external resistor? Thanks, BH
