I'm running a civilian distributor on a 24 volt system through a 24/12 converter. It's my understanding that a resistor drops the voltage to the points to 6 volts on a 12 volt system. What I'm wondering is if I could run 24 volts to a resistor then to a coil with a internal resistor and get 6 volts to the points so I could do away with running it through the converter? Has anyone ever tried this?
