Higher voltage is always better-wrong

In the field of performance, more is almost always greater. More lift, airflow, fuel, horsepower and performance, just to name a few. However, in the world of car ignition coil factory ignition coils, higher voltage does not necessarily mean better performance. The goal is to keep the coil voltage stable under load during the entire acceleration phase with little or no drop. It should be noted that the performance of the coil must be consistent from idle to shift point or red line.

The internal structure of the coil is important to maintain a consistent voltage across the entire RPM range. Coils with heavier gauge windings and more windings per coil can effectively transmit energy throughout the engine's operating range.

The bigger the better-wrong

Buyers, even those who have a basic understanding of how ignition coils are made, may make wrong assumptions in this regard. The performance of the coil can usually be improved by adding more windings and using heavier gauge materials for these windings. The improved coil can usually be fitted into an OEM-sized case or case, or a slightly larger case or case, and make these modifications.

With the correct windings, stock-sized enclosures are usually sufficient. In some cases, you may need to use a larger mold for the coil body, although this is not always the case. It is important to use the correct number of windings and the correct gauge (size) material for these windings. Doing this regularly ensures that the coil is not only suitable for OEM packaging, but also performs better.

Aftermarket coils do not require ballast resistors-error

The last example of misunderstanding will rule out modern coils instead of plug or coil pack ignition system cars, but instead focus on older muscle cars; some of you may not even know what ballast resistance is.

In the circuit, the ballast resistor controls the current. In ignition systems that use ballast resistors, the ballast resistor controls the current flowing to the coil. It is not uncommon for enthusiasts to throw away or ignore ballast resistors when replacing aftermarket coils or performing ignition system repairs.

The best advice for using replacement coils with ballast resistors is to follow the coil manufacturer's recommendations. When deciding whether to use a resistor, follow the recommendations provided by the coil supplier. If the coil requires a resistor and your previous coil does not, your new coil may easily burn out in a short time. On the other hand, if your new ignition distributor manufacturers don’t want you to use ballast resistors like the previous coils, you may not be able to get the performance advantages of the new coils.
