Petronix questions

The recommended Blaster coil has a much higher spark output than the standard factory coil, and I think you would be impressed with it.
Personally I'd use an E core design coil and get rid of the ballast garbage all together.

(But I care a lot more about how it performs than how it looks under a classic Mopar hood.) :D

A typical E-core coil only has 0.5 Ohms or less primary resistance. The Pertronix I, needs 3.0 Ohms total resistance. A ballast is needed, or it will go poof, nothing there to limit the current. The E-core coil would result in a saturation current of 28A. A standard coil and ballast about 4.7A. Most ignition coils are rated between 4 to 7A, so the coil could be damaged too.
