Default OT Gettting a used car checked by a mechanic before buying it
posted for all of us...

I may not have read all messages.





It was used in the coil circuit to reduce voltage to 9 volts while running
to give longer life to the points. Bypassed while starting so full voltage
would go to the points.
more like 7.5 actually, but you got the principal right.

yeah, long time ago... I had a 66 Dart gave it away at 200k miles and the
new owner crashed it a year later.
