Just to throw a bit more confusion into the mix (When have I ever done that?)- - - - -Using one of the "no ballast resistor" ignition coils changes the entire overall resistance of the ignition circuit, along with the inductive reactance I mentioned before, which will change the capacitance required to assure complete dissipation of the primary voltage spike before the points close again, and also prevent material transfer from one contact point to the other.
