I remember those instructions...... not sure I can find that again but I'll look. IIRC the removal of the ballast applies ONLY for when you use that coil with their Ignitor system. The issue will be if that standard type canister coil burns out with no ballast ..... the ballast is the current limiting element in the system; other ignition do that differently to get by with no ballast.
I put one of those 40011 coils in a stock points system and made sure the ballast was still there. The Mopar ignition works just like a set of points....
FWIW, from the stock schematic, the loose brown wire goes from one end of the ballast to the coil + and the blue goes to the other end of the ballast.
Rain is understood!
