What role does the ignition coil play in the ignition system on Volvo 244?

As of 1979 models, the ignition system on type A engines has a ballast resistor, which was connected in series with the ignition coil. While the starter motor is being used, a full battery voltage is applied to terminal 15 on the coil, and the power comes directly from terminal 16 on the starter motor solenoid. Once the engine has started, reduction of voltage is supplied to the coil through the ballast resistor. This arrangement helps to improve cold starting performance and helps to prevent too much current from flowing through the coil.
