In a week I'm headed to pick up my rolling restoration 1972 Dart with a 318 and drive it back home 500 miles. I'm bringing a Pertronix II 91381 ignition ignitor and coil. I've read all the articles and watched the videos but I'm still unsure of one thing.
On the ignition resistor, I just bypass that at the fire wall right? I drew out what I'm imagining you do. People seem to give different advice based on old versions of the ignitor. I've seen videos, especially on fords where they do something with a wire behind the instrument cluster. I've read some comments where people say something like "you still need the ballast resistor" and "you have to remove the resistor" and even "you can leave the resistor but it's better without it.
Also with the Pertronix II is it ok to have the ignition in the "on" position for a short time like less than 5 minutes?
I plan on keeping the points and condenser in the glove box.
Here is my drawing. Is it right?
