Hello fellow brickfans.

After some tought, i decided to change my wearned old coil to a new one on my 121.

My first election was a blue bosch coil (26000 volts). But, in my country we are receiving this ones from Mexico, and I found many local compliants about manufacturing quality - every second car technitian here suggest send the Blue Mexicans to the trash bin.

Due it, I adquire a "red" Bosch coil 067, (28000 volts, valid for points and electronic distributors, as the guide sheet on the envelope reads) This coil has a label with the prhase "need 0,8 ohms ballast".

Here I have ballasts with 5.5 omhms, and I can rig one for 0.8 ohms (is only a nicrome wire around a ceramic stick covered with a ceramic envelope).

My question is: Somebody know about this coils (or use it on his/her car)?, the ballast needed is really 0.8 ohms (a lot little in comparision to standard 5.5 ohms ballast)? or I'm reading wrong and 0,8 ohms is "from 0 to 8 ohms"?.

I check on Internet about red coil info, but very little are on line.

Thanks in advance for your(s) help (and my excuses for my spanglish).

Joaquin.
