What is the current draw for the 009 Distributor ignition?
Quote from: stevejahr on July 13, 2016, 05:58:39 PM What is the current draw for the 009 Distributor ignition?Great Plains lists a 4 cylinder, dual plug, dual coil 009 with wasted spark setup as 4 to 5 amps. I take that to mean a single coil 2 plug setup up with 2 cam lobes ground off should be 1 amp or so...http://greatplainsas.com/screardr.html
I found a cross reference on the 009 on 4 cyls drawing about 4 amps...However, when the distributor 1 & 3 cyl lobes are ground off the primary coil circuit is hot a much longer time per revolution... To reduce the load time the distributor lobe valleys between 1 & 3 would need to filled with weld and ground true with the lobe tops to get it down to less current per revolution...
