I went out and tried to start it normally. It started and ran for like 3 minutes then lost spark. I jumped the wire from + side of battery to + coil and it started right back up.
I'm not 100% on the ballast resistor. But I believe there is one on the firewall. (white/ plastic) it has 12v to top and bottom wires going into it.
But no 12v to coil until jumped. I don't believe coil has a resistor in it.
