upgrading regulator

a second question if you don't mind: am I correct at reading my wiring diagram for the ballast resistor as- the brown wire from ignition switch gives the full 12 volts to the coil for starting purpose only, then when the car is running and key goes to the run position the alternator takes over and the ballast resistor drops the voltage to 8 for the coil? if so, and again if I am reading correctly, shouldn't the electronic ignition wire go to the side of the ballast resistor with the blue wire from the regulator so it's getting power from the 12 volt side, and not the drop to 8 volts?
thanks again for your help
