Pertronics ballast resistor removal question

KitCarlson, thanks for the info, I think I will shrink wrap the whole thing from connector to connector.
RedFish, the pertronics unit replaces the points in the distributor in pre EI cars/trucks and the directions say to remove/bypass the ballast resistor. On my 72 dart there were two wires connected to each side of the resistor, I just didn't know if both were to be connected or if one of each still needed to be connected to the resistor for some other function.
