I plan to convert my 1966 Barracuda 273 over to electronic ignition. I'd like to keep it as stock looking as possible, so, the Pertronix system appeals to me. In looking at the kit, they want you to hook their module direct to 12V and use a coil with a certain ohm resistance (preferably their coil). I have an NOS Mopar coil that has that same resistance. Will it work with the Pertronix okay? What I was thinking is to keep the ballast resistor and just hook the Pertronix red lead to the 12V side of the ballast, the other lead to the -side of the coil, and leave everything else alone. I'm also hoping to run a stock tach that has the remote tach control, so, it would also hook up to the -side of the coil. Anyone done this exact thing?
