<< I was gust given a brand-new, in the box, Accel Super Stock igintion coil.
I
would like to install this on my 74 Tr-6 but am not sure if I need to
remove,
disable, disconnect the resistive wire (basically the same as a ballast
resistor). Of course there is not much info with the coil, even on the
instruction sheet excpet to say 'remove old coil and install the new one',
not
much help! The coil says it's 12 volts and I measure no resistance on the
secondary, so it's not internally ballasted.

Steve,
Measure the restistance between the "+" and "-" terminals on the Accel coil
(off the car, on the bench). You'll need a good digital VOM. If resistance
measures about 1.5 ohms, you'll need the external resistance. If the reading
is about 2.5 - 3 ohms, the coil is internally ballasted and you'll need to
bypass the car's resistor.
