Default heat

Hi

One thing to watch out for is , if they are wire wound resistors ,typically made with nichrome wire , the resistance value will change as the resistor heats up . There will be both cold and hot ohm values .

You might be better off using a solid state device mounted on a heatsink .

Those Ford ignition systems are a pain in the bum .
