6V or 12V coil ??

list,
                The subject line refers to a choice I face on my '77 spit. It 
has a Crane/Allison xr-700 system in it with a 12v coil and although it runs 
beautifully, it takes a while to start. According to Haynes, with the stock 
elec. ign. system, it should have a 6V coil (which would make starting easier, 
right?...) and a ballast resistor (which I confimed does exist). The question 
is, since Crane's instructions say their system is compatible with the stock 
coil, does it matter whether I go with a stock 6v or a hotter 12v ?? 


                                                TIA,   Dean Martz
