I think the canister coil on my CJ is bad (voltage in, but nothing out). I've got a spare coil from a late 90's Jeep inline kicking around in the garage.
From what I understand, the CJ coil has a resistor that steps the voltage to the coil down to 8 volts. The new coil doesn't have a resistor and has 12 volts at the coil.
Would it be possible with alittle wiring to use the later 12 volt coil on my CJ? I'm wondering if I can get a strong spark by doing this. Also, I'm wondering with a stronger spark, if I can open my spark plug gap a bit.
Eventually I want to go an HEI setup, but for now to get it running, I was wondering if this was possible.
