Boaterbob, your comment about the resistance wire and Pertronix was interesting. I checked the installation instructions for the Pertronix I bought in 2001 and it warned you that the resistance had to be removed or the unit would probably fail. I see the manual posted by the company now shows both ways.
However, I understand that the reason the voltage to the coil was reduced once the engine was running was to eliminate arcing of the points at higher rpm's. Given that a lot of people go to aftermarket coils to increase the spark voltage, it seems counterproductive to reduce the coil input voltage.
Just a thought
