Terry, couple of things. If you have gotten by that long with full power I would be pretty confident the coil is ok that way. You are probably better off that way as your burn time and spike KV are going to be better with the higher voltage (In reality I don't think you will see a difference in driveability either way unless you have your carb leaned back). You can however wire the original wire back so it doesn't run on accessory by just taking the section of resistance wire out right at the switch. If yours is like mine it has a bullet connector at the end and you should be able to bypass it. One other thing about the Pertronics (coupled with the higher voltage or not). You may already be doing this. Make sure you are running your plugs at a .045 gap or you loose some of the advantage of the system. You get a mildly lower burn time but a much hotter spark which fires lean mixtures off better. With a good platinum plug installed longevity of the plugs is a non issue and the coil will be taxed just a little more. The pertronics unit will take the extra saturation time just fine. Iv'e toyed with the idea of going .060 but the only thing gained is if I want to go leaner on the carb. 390's are great engines but valve burners if you get them too lean. Hey...guess I didn't buy the car because it got great mileage.
