					Faron, excellent summary above.
While the stock HEI will operate with "any" coil... it bypasses at a specific current level.
Any coil kicking the HEI into saturation mode implies massive heat generation INSIDE the HEI chip?
(generally, solid state devices DO NOT like heat...)
What is the optimum coil primary resistance using a stock HEI, ~13.5VDC, for runtime performance?
Do the EXPENSIVE HiPo HEI 4 pin (Accel, MSD, Pertronix, etc.) limit the current at a higher level? (worth ever buying?)
