Re: [Amc-list] The '65 American 330 cranks - now to figure why it won't start

" If the coil is bad you need a GM (Delco) 3.3-4.1 ohm coil.

not just delco.  this coil type was common in marine inboard setups,
presumably to reduce the number of sparky fume-igniting relays and
contacts.

" The 65 American doesn't have a ballast resistor or a resistance wire in the harness -- the resistance is built into the coil. 

this was true up to '67.  '68s went to 'conventional' coil and
external ballast.  makes older cars slightly easier to switch to hei
since the coil/dist is already getting full 12v all the time.
