It's a fact, Jack
I'm running this setup in my roadster. The ballast resistor is
important for the points ignition, but when you go to the electronic
ignition, it's not necessary. What I did was to remove the stock
coil and ballast resistor on its bracket (the flamethrower won't fit
in the stock mount anyway), and have one of my buddies who's building
a plane in his basement to fabricate me a custom coil holder from
aluminum (and a nice stereo mounting plate for the trunk).
