The exact placement of the resistor in the circuit is of no importance. As long as the resistor is somewhere between the ignition switch and the points is all that is required. Voltage drop and a corosponding amperage reduction occurs regardless of resistor location. It isn't the voltage that burns points, it is the amperage. Current (amperage) is constant throughout a live circuit. That is, if measured in several locations the meter will read the same each time. Voltage (or more appropriately the voltage drop) on the other hand is measured across each component in the circuit. Depending on the resistance of that component, voltage drop varies but the total voltage drop will add up to equal the supply voltage. Mount the resistor (assuming you are going to use the 6 volt coil) anywhere in the circuit that is convienent. Be sure to secure it to the sheetmetal some place to sink (draw) the heat away from the resistor. If the resistor gets too hot the value (total resistace of the resistor) will go up and lower the availible voltage to the coil slightly, thereby reducing secondary voltage.

Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
