Uh, so you're saying that the 12v coil without the resistor is NOT like the 6v coil? I was told here by someone that the 12v coil without the resistor would work just as good as a regular 6v coil. And hopefully the battery I have is not discharged much, and it works since the gas gauge moves when you turn the key now, even though it shows a full tank. Anyway, if the battery needs charged I'm sure my neighbor would charge it, since my brother helps them all the time.
