I have a 1984 Bronco II that has a Duraspark from a 1978 Pinto. My problem is i'm trying to install a ballast resistor. I have went from the positive side of the dual plug from the ICM to the resistor, out of the resistor to the + side of the coil. I am getting 5.67 volts not running and 8.2 volts with it running, but its not enough to start it when cold if I supply full voltage 12.5 to the coil like it was it starts but burns up the coil pretty quick, like 15 min ideling. I have went through 3 before I gave into a resistor. I have tapped into the start wire from the ICM, the start wire on the rectangle plug (white I think) and to the red/Lt green wire from the solenoid all with the same results of continuing to crank when running. What is going on and how can I fix this?
My coil has 1 ohm my resistor has 1 ohm and my patience has none.
