I don't believe the Willys ever came with a ballast resistor, but I will check on it. The coil is new. How would I check to see if the coil has an internal resisitor? I have a Bosch blue coil on the workbench. Does it have an internal resistor?

Keep in mind that I probably put 3000 miles on the engine before this problem developed. But then again may I was just lucky!
