I'm trying to upgrade the distributor in my car by installing a Pertronix Ignitor. I also decided to buy the Flamethrower coil as well. I have it all hooked up but the car won't start, but engine does turn over. From doing some internet research it looks like if I use the stock coil I can run the ballast resistor, but if I use the Flamethrower coil I need to remove or bypass the ballast resistor.

My question is probably pretty simple for many of you, but I am not sure how to bypass the ballast resistor. I would like to keep everything as stock looking as possible, but I am a worried about hacking into my wiring harness if necessary. The car is a 1968 Plymouth Fury 383 4bbl, all original.

Tomorrow I am going to install the stock coil back in the car and see if it starts just to be sure I have the Pertronix installed correctly.
