I believe you would want to use the one with the least resistance. Correct, use the lengthwise pair that has the least resistance. Last one I checked had 1.6 ohms on that side. I'd start with a .017" gap/lube the cam sparingly/clean the surfaces with contact cleaner/brake kleen. confirm the dist upper shaft radial play is acceptable.

yes and yes, and as mentioned, use the lower resistor path on the 4 prongs one ( usually they are on 1 to 1.5 ohms rate ). The higher resiostor path is around 4.5 to 5 ohms

& you can parallel connect both sides & see what you get. one end is already (OE) jumped across sideways with the blue loop of wire & do the same to the other end then see what you get & my last one was 1.1 ohms & whether this lower amt will work for you depends on the quality of the point set & the coil pri ohms you are useing (post what you are useing). As you know lower, gives a hotter spark/less longevity (& vice versa).

If the recommended MSD ballast is 0.06 ohms then I would definitely parallel the 4 prong as you will be above that. Question, is MSD saying the blaster 2 coil/0.06 ohm ballast will work fine with points?
