Ballast resistor removed with coil?  Or do you have a
ballast wire in the harness?

If you go to a 12V coil and the ballast is in the harness
your spark will suck! (too little power)

You can open up the gap a bit, ONLY if you replaced the stock coil
with a higher output (IE 40KV coil vs stock 25KV) coil.  030-035
is good to start, but remember under compression it takes
more to make the spark jump.
The elec ign. only replaces the points, and has little effect
on power output.
