Coolant leaking into oil causing Milky Oil

My Atomic 4 is a life long resident of the Great Lakes - so no salt water. I converted my engine to FWC several years ago and noticed back then that the coolant would slowly drop in level over a...

Your correction is incorrect. :-)
An inductor/ignition coil resists changes in current. A good analogy is a heavy spinning object. It takes energy to get it to spin, and stopping it requires...

So my Accel Superstock 1.4 ohm coil and ballast resistor setup (part numbers mentioned before) is still working fine.

I recently altered my cooling system (homebuilt fresh water cooling) so I...

Ok, so in other words, it will work fine.

I run a business as well, and I suspect that Moyer has a solid position in the market.

I've spent quite a bit of money with Moyer already, and I am...

Lower water pump extendo bolt alternative?

Will this work? Or why won't this work as a long bolt for the lower hole of the water pump?

This is a 4 1/2" grade 5, 3/8-16 bolt with a nut tightened/bottomed on the threads.

For reference; These are the picts from the internals of a failed Bosch PN 00012 "Blue Can" VW 4 cylinder coil. The Bosch blue coil is rather famous in VW circles. They are suppose to be ultra...

I agree. It really doesn't matter how the resistance is created, however using resistive wire would probably better spread the heat throughout the coil vs using a discrete carbon or ceramic...

Hi Don,
I know that in years gone by that coil manufacturers added actual resistors in the coil cans to increase the overall resistance and limit the current. Its not hard to find info on those on...

>> what was the original internal resistance of the VW coil

Bosch says the 00012 coil is a 3 ohm coil, but it measures more, 3.4 to 3.6 ohms and that's with a good Fluke meter.

I have a new...

>>I think he handed out a Standard UC15, which if memory serves, is 3.8 ohms or so. <<
Probably not since the Standard UC15 says "Requires an external resistor" right on the coil can. It might...

Coil selection and ballast resistors with Pertronix Ignitions

I read through this entire thread after I started having issues with my Pertronix Ignitor I ignition and I have some things to add after doing further research.

As was stated in this thread, the...
