6 Volt Coil Wiring Diagram

Older model cars used the 12 volt ignition coils to provide power to the spark plugs.

6 volt coil wiring diagram. Wiring schematic for 6 volt positive ground pertronix ignitor 1188p6 original wiring is from ign switch coil term to term on 6 volt coil. Because the output spark is very much higher voltage 20 000v than the car battery 12v it doesn t care if the battery polarity is helping or hindering by a meager 12 to 14 volts in battery potential. They usually required only three wires. Please do not leave ignition switch on more than 30 seconds without engine running.

6 volt positive ground. The starter current draw on a ford v 8 through 1948 is 550 amps does not include v 8 60 s. Ignition coils of this type are usually a little larger than a soda can and are heavy. Both have one continuous winding between and posts.

This fsi conversion kit is designed for 6volt positive ground only. The 1949 1951 engines crank 130 rpm without an automatic. Find a copy of a positive groung wiring diagram to prove it to yourself. These coils had very simple wiring.

There is no added resistor in series with the 6 volt coil inside the can of a direct 12 volt coil. Please follow wiring diagram included in these instructions. To the coil on a positive ground car like a model a 9n 2n 8n ford tractor may 03 simple visual explanation of the wiring of the 6 volt generator regulator on my farmall super a 6 volt positive ground. Wiring diagram pertronix 6 volt ignitor 1188p6 before your order one read the notes below.

The starter cranks a stock flathead engine at 100 rpms. The difference between a 6 volt 12 volt external resistor required coil and a 12 volt no external resistor required is the type and or length of wire used to wind the primary of the coil. The simple fix for this is to reverse the two primary wire connections on the ignition coil. May apply to others.

Installation instructions please read instructions carefully before installing your kit.
