does anybody know

did you ever hear of the ballast resistor. i saw it in the msd instuctions. i went ahead and got one but its going to take a few days to get to me so i'm gonna try that and hopefully it works for me. but other than that i have no ideas. i mean the ignitor is putting out power to it so i'm lost.

I don't think our cars have a ballast resistor,could be wrong though.Don't understand why yours would need one either though,something just doesn't sound quite right.Maybe somebody with a better knowledge of ignition/ electronics will chime in with an explanation.

i don't know either, but i did notice something and it was weird. but when i took a grounded wire to the body and touched it to the negative on the coil it sparked so i don't know if that was supposed to happen but it did. any ideas on that or is it wierd?
