Just bypass the resister on the firewall. I soldered a wire from lug to lug across the back of the resister, that way it looks like stock for the onlooker. That way if you want to reverse the installation just cut the wire and your resister is good to go. Or find an old one and jump it.

Subject: Pertronix 40,000 Volt Flame Thrower Coil
Hi Everyone,
Have a question for all of you ignition system specialists. I just
purchased a Pertronix 40,000 volt flame Thrower coil to go along with
my Ignitor point less system. The system that just replaces the
points. Not the whole distributor.
Anyway, the box says, 1.5 ohm suitable for cylinder 8 engines.
Replaces most canister type coils in distributor- type inductive
Ignition systems. Not suitable for capacity discharge or distributor
less systems.
The info inside the box explains how to check to see if you have a
resistor. Now, I know that these cars have a ballast resistor on the
firewall. However, I don't know if they are speaking of another
resistor. It says that if you have a resistor,you need to remove it.
I'm lost. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ted
