"i bought a mallory elec, ign, and ballist resistor and a coil for the resistor the boat has points in it now it has red and green wires going to the + side and 2 white wires to the - side of the coil can some body tell how to wire the ballist resistor and what the wire going to coil are any help would be great thank david"

"Sounds like someone has already been doing some rewiring to yours. The coil should have 2 gray and 1 black on the neg post. One gray to ESA, one to the tach and black coming from the points. The pos post should have a pur/bl coming from the starter solenoid and a pur/r coming from the alternator which is your resistor wire. Not sure why you need a ballast unless you are supposed to bypass the resistor wire?"

"the mallory elec, ign, kit say to use a ballist resistor on the switch wire that hook to the + side of the coil and it say to use a coil that is compatable with the ballist resistor. i know very little about boats and i can't find no one around here that wokk work on these boat thank for the help"
 
"If the engine has original wi

"If the engine has original wiring harness, the resistor is 'built into' the + wire going to coil already. Use a volt meter to check."
 
"how many volt should it show?

"how many volt should it show? so can i just wire up mallory elec, ign, the way it show and it be good. it has red going to the + side of the coil and green to - side of coil and brown to ground on motor thank for all the help i am dume as a box of rock on a boat i thought it be simple till i got looking at all switches and everything it nothing like a car"

"With ign 'ON', it should read about 9 Volts on the coil if the original resistor cable is used."
