AD era owners or previous.. you do NOT have a bypass ballast resistor setup if you converted to 12v (standard method). Since you use a floor stomp starter, and an ON/OFF ignition switch, there is no means of bypassing during cranking, so everything is always through the ballast resistor. Since its a 57 we are talking about, no issues. The AD system seems to work just fine. Not sure why they thought it necessary to add the extra voltage to the points during cranking. If it was a big deal, we could come up with something for AD and previous? We are here to innovate aren't we?
