I like the MSD in my B body, and will be working on that more soon.

The MSD is really what started this.

To my way of thinking, the ballast is a crutch to prevent the oil filled canister coil and the ecu from overheating, because the components can't take 13+ volts....If we use more robust components, we get around that issue.

Even the chrysler igniton always seems to run better with the ballast resistor bypassed....temporarily... Might not be noticeable in terms of dragstrip performance, but very noticeable in starting/normal driving.
