Hot wire goes from the switch to a resistor or through a resistor wire, then to the + side of the coil. Then a wire goes from the - side of the coil to the distributor. | Hot wire goes from the switch to a resistor or through a resistor wire, then to the + side of the coil.

| + | For easier starting, the hot wire installed on the 'start' contact of the ignition switch can bypass the resistor to apply full voltage to the coil while cranking. A ballast resistor is needed in the 'run' position of the switch so the distributor points don't burn up. | ||
