Hello, I have a 72 Chevelle that im working on, I just got it running again, its got a big block with an Accel Distributor with the dual point design. I have read that the resistance wires are supposed to only get about 9.5 volts when running, but mine is getting 12.0. The battery is charging at 14.6 so it does drop, and the resistance wire is the same length as stock. I am pretty sure that running the higher volts will wear out my points prematurely, but should I do anything, and if so, what should I do? thanks
yes there are two wires going to the + side because its supposed to get full volts when cranking, that wire only supplies power when cranking and no other time. the resistance wire comes from the fusebox and is supposed to draw down the volts lower but I don't think mine is low enough
