Re: [FWDLK] dual points or electronic?

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You need to have a different coil to run without the ballast 
resistor, running on straight 12 volts will increase the current flow 
through the ecu (box) and get it really hot in short order. Some of 
the later model mopar coils are designed to work with 12 volts, the 
early ones aren't.
