To Ballast or not to Ballast?

Just curious, have you ever run a coil like the one pictured on a older car? I guess I never thought about putting one of those on. I think getting a coil wire that has two different ends (coil/cap) would be difficult.

Yep, last week as a matter of fact.
You can put any end you want on a coil wire, and that loose wire in this picture is what was for the coil pictured above.
That coil is a stock Dodge Ram 1500 coil.
The distributor was running with the coil I posted and this cap and wires pictured, but the distributor has a rotor/cap phasing issue and I didn't want to mess with it at the moment so I pulled it all and went back to my HEI conversion so I could get on with car show day. :D
