Took my 1971 Aristocraft to the shop to seek out an ignition issue. Found out the ignition coil was bad (only 1 year old). It has a Mercruiser 165 straight 6 engine. My question is this: does this motor use a ballast resistor for the ignition coil? If so, where should it be located? I'm thinking maybe mine doesn't have one and that is why the coil went out prematurely.
