[AT] Grounded coil?

[Dudley Rupert]

John,

I know you asked about grounding the coil but I just thought I'd throw it in
here (and I am sure you already know this) that at least for the point style
distributors the distributor does have to be grounded in order to provide a
pulsating current to the coil primary which is required for the coil to do
its' thing -

Be careful.  It depends on the coil and the design of the ignition system.
There are some systems that require the coil to be grounded.  Others don't.
To be on the safe side, I always make sure the coil is grounded.  We've
heard Farmer's mantra enough to all know it by heart -- Check the grounds,
check the grounds, check the grounds.
