RE: IML: Pertronix ignition/ 64 413



Just did the same conversion.on my 66 . you can bypass the ballast resistor and run the red wire to the coil + , but only if use their coil,(which doesn't need the ballast resistor)

I just bought the Ignitor II electronic ignition setup for my 64 Iml 413/ I've read everything on the IML website, but still can't find an answer:

1. Pertronix says to run the red module wire (dist +) to the ignition side of the ballast resister (passenger side or driver side?). Then what - run another wire back to the coil?

2. They, however, recommend that the ballasr resister be disconnected and the wires connected to eliminate it entirely. If I do that, the red wire can go directly to the + side of the coil.

The question is: if I do bypass it entirely, what, if any, problems will I experience? I know the ballast resister is to protect the points, but if that is its only function (since I'm dumping the points) then am I oorrect in assuming that it is OK to bypass the ballast resister? And, (I'm real dumb in this area) if not, what side of the BR does the wire go to and is that the only connection?

Thot I'd ask those who have been there and done that.
