I believe the ballast resistor was also there to
protect the points from having 12V through them constantly.

elimination
I also believe a 12 volt coil will eliminate the need for a ballast
resistor. Our older Dodge systems are made to start with 12 volts to ensure it
will start. After starting when the key returns to the run position it feeds
power through the ballast resistor dropping the voltage to the coil to 6
volts. If you bypass the ballast resistor it will run but the constant 12
volts to the coil will cause it to eventually overheat and fail. If you take
the ballast resistor out or bypass it you need to replace the coil with one
made to operate with a constant 12 volts. Pertronix makes a 12 volt coil some
of the other manufactures also have 12 volt coils in there cars they are not
hard to find and not to expensive.

I can't testifie about the Mopar electronic, but
for points or Pertronix, you can eliminate the ballast resister by
going to your parts house and asking for a coil that says right on it, "no
external resister needed" It should be on their shelf. They must have
the resister built right into the coil.

I know it has been covered here before, but
with advancing CRS (can't remember s***) on my part,
can someone tell me how to eliminate the
ballast resistor ? I have the MoPar electronic ignition
with the orange box, and want to eliminate
the weak link in the system if possible. Thanks, Warren.
