[Farmall] International A died (and I am baffled)

Jim:

Surely you meant to write:

   12 volt ballast resistor required, wire from ignition switch to RESISTOR(NOT coil), another wire resistor to coil, third wire coil to distibutor.

Larry,
>From anything I have seen, there are 3 varieties of ignition coils, each 
should be labeled accordingly.
   6 volt - never uses a ballast resistor, wire from igniton switch straight 
to coil, another wire coil to distibutor.
   12 volt no ballast resistor required, wired same as 6 volt.
   12 volt ballast resistor required, wire from ignition switch to coil, 
another wire resistor to coil, third wire coil to distibutor.

Ballast resistors come in a variety of styles.  Any with only 2 electrical 
terminals will work fine.  For tractor use, I see no particular advantage to 
using a coil that requires an extenal ballast.
