*** If the coil came with an external resitor, you've GOT to use an external
resistor with it. The resistor means that the coil is really a 6V coil. Half
the car's battery voltage is dropped across the resistor. For reasons that we
don't need to go into here, the resistor makes the coil "charge" faster.
