[Roadsters] Ignition coil

[Daryl Smith]

Points - needs ballast resistor
Pertronix - needs ballast resistor
EI dizzy with stock coil - needs ballast resistor
EI dizzy with 12V coil - NO ballast resistor
Stock or EI dizzy with MSD/Crane etc. and 12V coil - NO ballast resistor (I 
don't think a stock coil would be wise with this setup so don't even try 
it!)

Clear enough??

Daryl
