Guest Kevinw Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Do i need to run a ballast resistor when using a blaster 2 coil in my 1979 280zx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I left the ballast when I put a Blaster 2 on my 260. Based on things I've seen now, don't. The resistor is to keep older, factory equipment from burning up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentallylost Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I am not using the ballast resistor on my 83 280zx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 If your car had a ballast resistor and the distributor has points, you should run it. It will still run fine, but you tend to burn up points quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentallylost Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Doh! I wasn't thinking and I know better. The ZX dizzy is points less. That's why there's no resistor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
