Re: [Chrysler300] Pertronix question and distributor grease question

["John Grady jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300]" <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no point to remove ballast resistor unless pertrronix says to do  so , GM HEI can run without it  ; it has  special circuitry that cuts current in coil at low rpm . But all mopar need resistor . Same with coil. Stay stock. If you take ballast r out in error , current goes  too high by 2x and will burn out pertronix  and/or points . Stock dual point ignition is good to 5500 plus, no need to change anything ?  ( Daytona beach records  were set with points  , we forget that   .. j

Folks

I just bought a refurbished 300K ram tach drive Prestolite unit that has not been used since cleaning and fitting with the Pertronix conversion. 

Two questions:

- I've heard chatter about removing (or leaving) the ballast resister following this conversion on a factory dual point-

Thoughts?

- the unit is clean as a whistle and  isn't packed with any grease whatsoever in that fancy screw cap fitting these things have. I used to use plain old chassis lube but was wondering if there's something better to use (like a red synthetic lube of some sort) , or not "pack" it with lube at all?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Keith
