Bypassing ballast resistor

fnaramore said
I'll be honest, I don't know much when it comes to the electrics side of cars. So since I am using a pro billet ready to run distributor, do I not really need the ecu to be part of the system? if thats true, I only need to splice to the two opposite wires on the ballast that don't connect directly to the ecu?

Are you using this product?

It has a built in module. You do not use the original Chrysler module.

Okay, I think I got it now. So for this distributor and coil change, I only need to splice the wires on the ballast that connect to the positive side of the coil and the ignition. Can the other two wires just be left unhooked or should they stay connected to the ballast?

The only wire that is of any use to you is the brown wire with the loop to 2 terminals at the ballast resistor connector. No need to cut and splice anything else. Remove the Chrysler ignition module and ballast resistor. Ignore all the original wires, (except the brown wire at the ballast resistor connector), including the original coil wiring. Use the brown wire for your ignition feed and hook up as per the MSD directions.
