I recently bought a 1975 Duster with a 318. The guy that had it before me had done some work to the engine. One thing he did was put on an MSD Blaster 2 coil. I noticed, when trying to trouble shoot a starting problem (nothing happened when the key was turned) that he had a jumper going between the top poles on the ballast resistor. Basically bypassing it.
Is this standard practice?
Is there a better way to do it? I am asking because it seemed that it was causing some connection issues since after I disconnected it, cleaned the connections and put it back in place... the car started.
Here is a picture of what I am talking about.
