    Bypassed Ballast Resistor?

    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...
