The owner of a 1967 RT that I have been working on, asked me to install a PerTronix conversion kit in the stock distributor. The instructions call for bypassing the ballast resistor. I'm sure some members have done this before. What is the best way to wire the red wire to 12 volts?

Several years ago I had suggested to using a MOPAR electronic ignition setup, but he wanted to keep his car/engine stock.
Thanks,

Are you changing to a PerTronix coil? The coil has to be designed to run on 12v. If the owner wants the engine compartment to look stock...a lot of people gut the back of the stock ballast and put a jumper wire back there. It looks stock but a full 12v goes to the coil. Since the coil is getting 12v, you can use that as your power feed.

I agree done a few of them,worked great thats the way i done it.

Using a MSD Blaster II

I modified a new ballast and replaced the resistor with a solid 14g wire. I sealed the wire and tested the continuity.
Thanks guys, that was an easy modification.

Also what I did on my RR Dang she runs a lot better.....which shows I suck at setting points.... lol
