Headacheguy,
You raise some excellent points worth thinking about. I'm running some version of a "mustard top" coil that I suspect is nothing special. When I get home and put the car on the road, I'll reconnect the dormant wire with the resistance in it and see if there is any noticeable difference. It's gone 14 years with no resistance in the wire to the coil, and I've always been careful not to leave power on if the engine isn't running.
I've now had another thought......I assume in the stock wiring configuration, the "acc" position on the ignition switch does not put power to the coil, but running a separate 12 volt wire from a switched source would. Seems like Pertronix may have outsmarted themselves with the original installation instructions if you use the "acc" position for any time.
Thanks for the info
