I find it interesting as well only because the ballast resistor has nothing to do with current flow through a pick up coil? Pick up coils create their own signal telling the module when to switch the coil primary thus creating spark.

Maybe they just used the wrong terms in the reply but still. If you're replying to a technical question you should get the terminology correct or the whole answer becomes suspect. twocents
