Balast resistor or no?

Yes. On a coil that does not require a ballast, you will not have a full 12V to the ignition, as it is designed.

Gotcha. Is there a guide to exactly what wire goes where when eliminating the resistor? I'm a visual guy unfortunately. I took the wires off the resistor and used a butt connector to splice them together. But above he said to wire the + side from the coil into the new system? I assume this system came with directions but I got this motor already set up with it.
