6 Volt ignition resistor for Ford 4.2volt coils
It is critical with 6 volt system running original Ford coils that there is an ignition resistor in circuit, as the original coils are 4.2 VOLTS, failure to install one or maintain it as servicable will ensure that the coil will overheat and leak, ergo...dead coil.
Daryl, am currently at work and don't have manuals on hand, will check tonight the status of the wiring to the inspection lamp point. The previous owner may, as you have suggested created a hotwire system utilizing the switch, but other than that, I can see no reason for that switch to be in circuit. However is it "constant live", that is to say, doesn't require the ignition to be live to use the lamp. ( this is merely speculation on my part, without suitable documentation to support the theory ) Perhaps one of my learned brethren could offer some pearls of wisdom....Tony?, Rick? Others Regards, Pedr
