ORIGINAL: Antique

There are no CM6 resistor plugs....
No one can convinvce me that a shielded ignition system even needs a resistor anywhere in the system..
Anyone ?
Ralph,
For one, the Vlach ignitions as used before MVVS switchhed to the MSR-ICU units have a feedback from the plug to regulate the advance. Failing to use an R-type plug upsets the ignition timing big time. Been there, done that.
Don't ask me how it works, but it is very clear that it is not only RI suppression that the resistor is there for.
