Quote: Thank you, Andrewh. I do appreciate your help. I may need your guidance again when I go to install my Pertronix kit. Do you retain the ballast resistor when you install the Pertronix? Or do you bypass it entirely? Perhaps break out the ceramic resistance wire and then wire it terminal-to-terminal to keep the OE look, such as a previous poster did?
Unless you buy their coil or a 12 volt coil, you need to keep the ballast resistor. It is needed for the coil. You just run 12 volts to the petronix though "bypassing" the ballast.
