O'Reilly's carries B%W points which are also one of the top of the line parts companies and I know there has to be a O'Reilly's not to far from you

Your list says that a 12 volt coil does not need a resistor - it that
correct? I thought that a resistor was necessary.

 

[souNdguy]

did i stutter?


a napa ic14sb is a 12v native coil.. primary resistance is fine for 12v.

a '12v' coil that needs a resistor is a 6v coil.

a 6v coil plus the appropriate resistor can be run on 12v.

it's printed that way for a reason....

" it that
correct? "

Soundguy just tosses bogus stuff out like that to see if we're paying attention..........messing w/ the newbies.

Yes, it's correct.

The question concerned a round coil on an NAA. A 12v round coil on an N or an NAA does not need a resistor. Unless it is clearly marked that it needs one......in which case, buy another coil like the IC14SB Soundguy listed.

A square front coil on an N always needs the OEM ballast resistor. Doesn't matter if it's 6v or even if it's a 12v coil.
