GTEPETE Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Don't recall seeing this part in Mantas https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Kadett-C-GTE-Resistor-Pack-Nos-Manta-A-B-1-9e-2-0e/293766869343?hash=item4465deb15f:g:hswAAOSwpdxfeaYz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Only seen that pack on very early ones, Think it was Herman who linked one previously. It's for the ignition coil for cold starting conditions they fitted a lower Voltage coil, dropped through the resistor pack. When cranking for starting it bypassed the resistors to take into account the cold battery's lower cranking volts. WRONG - see answer below 💪 Edited November 23, 2020 by Jessopia74 I was wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 have seen a similar setup on a 79 senator but a 6 way resistor pack. that one was used in series with the injectors thou . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I think your right now you mention that. It does look too big for a coil. Jogged the grey matter 🤦🏻♂️ It was when Herman was talking about early L-Jetronic compared to LE-Jetronic , it is for the injectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The L-jetronic works with 6Volt injectors, this part is the resistor pack for those injectors. Jess has got also a point, the half of this pack is used also for the ignition but has got another funktion. Where that 4-pack just feeds every injector the 2-pack is overruled by the "16" of the starter motor to give the coil a higher voltage just to start. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
