2N front mount with 12 v conversion. Received my brand spanking new resistor (static resistor p/n 8NE10306) not the variable one, and my multimeter shows it as 6 ohms. My coil is measures at 2.5 ohms, so I'll get a little over 1.5 amps to the coil with my alternator putting out 14.2 volts. I've spent more dang time with this stupid little ceramic blob. Anybody else get a bad one? I'm sure most of you guys are thinking I'm reading the reading wrong and the 6 is really .6, but I've triple checked it. I see now they have internally resisted 12 v coils, may go that route. One more question, if you send almost 6 amps to the coil, I know they will eventually burn up, but are they hot to the touch?
