You need to have a different coil to run without the ballast
resistor, running on straight 12 volts will increase the current flow
through the ecu (box) and get it really hot in short order. Some of
the later model mopar coils are designed to work with 12 volts, the
early ones aren't.

Also, I'm "running" a ballast resistor (finally found a "correct-style" one; NOS, on Ebay); it's connected to the coil, but, with the "HiPo" coil I've got, what (IF any) is the net-EFFECT OF the coil I've got (came with the E.I. system I installed) ON the ignition system, GIVEN, that the system appears to be 'happy', WITH the ballast resistor installed? In other words (in addition to, possibly 'carrying' a spare E.I. box) , should I get a higher output coil, and/or disconnect the ballast resistor connection, to the coil? Or, is ignorance "bliss"?????
