removing ballast resistor WIRING, MSD, switched 12v source,

Well, that's OK. I realize its probably more work than its worth. Again, I like things to be sanitary, what can I tell you.

I'm also in favor of minimizing points of potential failures. Why leave a wire hanging loose if you can cut it out?

True, leaving the one little wire there would not have amounted to much but nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Look up "young gun" or whatever his name is, sorry. has the lime project. Ran the wiring under the fenders, moved all the components up under the dash. Really cleaned up the bay

You don't really need a relay FOR the MSD as that's the whole purpose of the small red wire -- to activate the box. I don't know if MSD uses a solid state switching device internally or they actually may USE a relay, so you'd be using a relay to feed a relay.

What you need a relay FOR is in reality to supply the regulator, IE to get the regulator power supply as close to battery voltage as possible.
