Default Re: Pertronix and Ignition Coil wiring confusion

This entire thing needs more research because I read a post from the HCI guy who seemed to know quite a bit and he pleaded "Please if you use PerTronix use it WITH the ballast resistor wire in the truck!" His point (ha points!) was that it will work fine with the lower voltage and NOT burn out as the PerTronix can do. I am doing this now and wondered about the info from PerTronix about doing away with the ballast resistor wire. Fingers crossed but I did notice that aphaynes WAS able to run to the drive-in WITH the ballast resister (which BTW is what looks like the silver stranded wire looking wire) ... The wire IS the resister! Plus my 65 1000 ran for 3 yrs with the 2 wires on positive of coil. Much more important however is: WHAT MOVIE???
