changing from points to electronic

My main reason for wanting to go with an MSD box is out of simplicity. Althought your post was a little hard to follow, I got the basics of what you were saying. The system actually makes alot more sense now. I had no idea what the ballast resistor was for to be honest. I'm more confident in my knowledge of the ignition system now. That answered what I was attempting to figure out! Thanks for being patient w/ me.
