Yes. Same way on my Challenger. When you start turn the ignition key to start, the IGN1 "Run" wire that goes to the ballast resistor (the power for the coil while key is in "run" position) is not hot. Only the full voltage IGN2 "Start" wire that gives extra power to the coil while starting is hot. This is the wire that is connected to the same side of the ballast resistor as the wire that connects to the + terminal on the coil.
If you bypass the ballast resistor (say to connect the "run" wire to an MSD control) you will not get voltage while cranking. To fix this, splice the IGN2 wire to the IGN1 wire.

Having a weird problem. Power to my Duster's ignition system dies when I turn the key to start. I can start the car by bumping the relay with key in the run position. Any one else had this problem and have a cure?
