MSD 8388 Ready to run distributor

View attachment msd-8388_frm28738.jpg

The instructions say to bypass the ballast resistor(top fig.). So, do I place a jumper across the ballast resistor and leave original wire to the coil connected or can I just use the wire that feeds the ballast(ign.1 swt. side) for the connection to the coil (+) terminal.
Thanks
