I hate those things...
Ideally, I want a Ready to Run MSD distributor with a Blaster 2 coil, but even the instructions on those show using a ballast resistor on the positive side of the coil.|||Run a Chevy HEI converted for a chrysler small block. Better spark and a 50k volt coil.|||The purpose of this resistor is to reduce the voltage at the breaker points after the engine starts. It also controls the amount of current necessary for the coil to function better|||I don`t see the problem. Run whatever you want for a dist and coil. Just make sure that the resistor is installed. It`s there for a reason, kinda like why they put zippers in the front of your pants. Doesn`t help the ladies , but is darn handy for the guys.Or leave the resistor out and replace the coil every 2nd time you replace the dist. your choice|||im no mechanic just a life long mopar owner and as far as i know you have to use the ballast resistor|||The ballast resistor reduces the voltage to the coil while in running mode to compensate for the 14.2 + volts from the charging system. There is usually a bypass circuit that allows battery voltage to the coil while cranking. The resistor acts as a regulator to keep the voltage to the coil around 12 volts.
If it calls for it, you need it.
