Hello all

Another question after looking thru the archives and not finding the 
answer:

I'm putting on a Pertronix unit soon, and I'm wondering if I can put 
on a hotter coil (eg MSD) and remove the ballast resistor.

I understand that the resistor is to protect the points (which will 
be gone) and the keep the stock coil from overheating (hence the 
aftermarket coil)

What am I missing?  (if anything)

I remember reading a couple of weeks ago that Fred Katz was planning 
on trying this (or something like it).

Anyhow, TIA for any and all responses.
