Sorry if I am simplifying stuff here, but you do know how a coil works, dont you? Putting any DC voltage on a coil will result in zero output. A coil REQUIRES that you have a expanding/collapsing field to work. In a points distributor, the points act as the "interruptor" to cause the field to collapse when the points open and the field to expand when the points close. This alternating action causes the magnetic field to induce voltage to the output windings of the coil..... the voltage output is the product of the input voltage X the winding ratio X some efficiency number.
How did you test the coil?Last edited by robot; 05-21-2008 at 11:37 AM.
