Coil Confusion

September 25 2008 at 4:11 PM

 

The coil on my carbed 1300 X is producing a pale yellow spark, so I think it's time for a replacement.

I have searched the archives here and read heaps about 12v/9v coil selection, but am still confused.

There is no ballast resistor on this spec car (well, I can't see one anywhere). This would lead me to believe I should be buying a 12v coil (Bosch GT40)

However, when I measure voltage at the positive coil terminal (ignition on, not cranking), I see 9v, which indicates I should be getting a 9v coil (Bosch GT40R).

Any ideas?
