Re: [ihc] Coil Voltage?

["Dan Nees" <cookiedan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

George,
   What I mean is, the Start circuit is designed to pump 12 volts through
the points for start-up, then the Run circuit drops it down to 5ish to save
point degradation. If you are still using the points, then you should keep
the R-S system, but; if you switched to a PerTronixs, for instance, then you
could use the 12 volt R circuit all the time, allowing a hotter feed to the
coil for spark development, and for the full 12 volts to the relay for the
Injector system. Since you need 12 volts for the relay, and 5 for the points
you shouldn't use the coil for the relay.

Dan,
  If I put a wire from the remote solenoid where the other wires are
connected directly to the coil and the trigger to the relay connected to
the coil, wouldn't I have a continuously charged relay, even when the
ignition was off?

  No aftermarket ignition.
