Why bypass the ballast resistor..
Running a full 12V without current limiting will smoke the coil pronto..

If you want to run it hotter but still protect it, use the 0.25 Ohm resistor still available from Mopar for use with the Blaster II coil.

Just my $0.02...



because more voltage in, equals more voltage out, equals hotter spark, and ultimatly, possibly more Hp or at least a cleaner burn.


plus, they do make coils to run on a full 12V. I did it for quite awhile on my orange box ignition and an MSD coil. never had any problems. I put maybe 3,000 miles on the orange box with no issues before I swapped to MSD to clear up a loading up at idle issue on the plugs

--at idle my plugs would load up and the spark would start jumping the boot to the block. when I swapped to the MSD, I also swapped to Rick's Firecore wires, so one of those 2 changes cleared up my issue.

so, I say go for it. not sure if I was "supposed" to do it or not, but it worked fine for a few years of cruising, couple thousand miles, and was still working fine when I made the swap.
