Thanks to everyone!
I know that without the ignition resistor the points take a beating. The starter does not have a solonoid
so there will always be a reduced voltage going to the points, which is good. A lot of the older systems used 12 volts to the coil when the ignition switch was in the start position than when released to the on position the resistor alowed reduced voltage to the coil.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
