The coil is partially shorted so its not using up its fair share of the 138 volts available and this forces the ballast resistor to over eat because its gotta go somewhere and it over heats this is my guess the dwell is too long.

Jaguar ballast resistor. In a true ballast coil system the ballast resistor is switched out of circuit during starting and is switched into circuit during running to increase longevity of points and coil. When you need a part for your jaguar e type we are the people you will want helping you. New ballast resistor 16 ohm lucas type 47222 use with lucas dlb102 coil or dlb110.

The ballast resistor brings the voltage down to compensate for the lower working voltage of the coil. Ballast resistor since 1976 terrys jaguar has been in the business of supplying a wide range of parts for jaguars everything from xk120 xk140 xk150 and all xke e type parts models right through to the latest jaguars on the road. The ballast resistor is commonly found in older vehicles because they did not have the benefit of circuit boards found in most of todays vehicles.

The ballast resistor drops the voltage from 12v to 9v but as your coil was expecting 12v to run it was producing a much reduced spark hence the start problems. Ballast resistor 9br jaguar v12 opus 1971 1985 since 1976 terrys jaguar has been in the business of supplying a wide range of parts for jaguars everything from xk120 xk140 xk150 and all xke e type parts models right through to the latest jaguars on the road. Ceramic ballast resistor as used in some ignition circuits where the ignition coil is less than 12 volts.

Over time the ballast resistor can be damaged by normal wear and tear so there are a few things to look for when you suspect a bad or failing ballast resistor needs servicing. Ac cobra tvr jaguar e type shelby 427 cobra maserati ghibli aston martin db5 mercedes 300sl gullwing mustang boss corvette sting ray ferrari dino 246 gt alfa romeo spider duetto dodge charger 1969 lamborghini miura toyota 2000gt. Because of this the circuit still requires a ballast resistor to limit current through the coil which typically has a primary resistance of about 1 ohm but the maximum spark rate capability is about double that of a contact breaker system.
