Ok, now that I know that I have a resistor wire and dont need the ceramic ballast resistor I hae two scenarios that I have done that I need some confirmation on:
1. when I had a power blaster coil on the car and pertronix unit I had the stock power wire (+) hooked up which is a resistor to the coil which is internally resisted.
2. when I had points and a stock coil I used a ballast resistor along with what I now know is a wire resistor. So i gave even more resistance.
In both these cases I gave the system more resistance than needed so I cut down my spark .....
my problems have been had hot starting and cutting out at wot (when I of course need more spark)
so is my train of thought on this correct? By running a wire that is hot at key on position and starting position that isnt a resistor wire then the blaster coil and petronix will work properly OR
if I use points and stock coil with ONLY the + resistor wire then I will get hte proper spark and not start as hard and not cut out at WOT....
sorry to ramble on but I want to make sure I am looking at this clearly, given what I have Id like to keep the current pertronix and blaster coil running a new power wire vs. points/stock coil/ resistor wire.....
