70 up charging system upgrade question

I didn't know what you were referring to as far as the "MAD bypass". As far as the resistance on the ballast resistor I don't know what the acceptable range is. There has to be a plus and minus tolerance range as with anything else. Now you got me curious. If I come up with something I will pass it on. I have been informed that with the electronic ignition systems a ballast resistor is not really necessary. It was to help extend points and coil life span. It will decrease the coil life with out a resistor but it is supposed to provide more voltage at the spark plugs and there fore more power. I will be working on my ride tomorrow and will take some readings now that you got me thinking about it. I just completed converting the headlights to a relay switched configuration. Major voltage drop in the original wiring for them. I also converted my instruments voltage regulator to electronic and eliminated intermittent fuel gauge issues. Let me know if you are interested in that stuff if you havn't already done it and I will give you my info on it. What year Cuda do you have? Looks really clean from you're pics.
Cheers,
