Ballast resistor question ??

electronic distributor running an old mallory CD ignition. probably under.$80 used. bulletproof. ballast resistor saves the points reducing the amperage to the points, extending their life. on the electronic. it was used to regulate the current ("...The compensating resistance serves the same purpose as in the contact ignition system, that is to maintain constant primary current with variation in engine speed..." Mopar FSM) with an aftermarket coil (supercoil) i'd say its not mandatory. what is the ohm. value of your ballast resistor? it matters. supercoils like more than 7v per another thread.
