Help with MSD 6AL and billet distributor set up

OK time to confess... somewhere in this process I switched two wires that come out of my harness in the same place. One was the original wire to the coil+ and the other went to the Temp sending unit (long abandoned for a mechanical gauge). That's why the wire showed 6 volts. But this thread is leading me to deal with other wiring issues like eliminating the ballast resistor. I'm good at the bulkhead connector - replaced the dash wiring harness in December and cleaned up and greased all the connections when I did it.
