[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And, of course, if/when you might install a Pertronix electronic 
ignition system,
to ensure as hot of a spark as possible, they recommend that NO ballast 
resistor
be installed (although you can leave the OEM-guy still residing next to 
the coil; just
not actually wired to it).
