yes it's not possible, so if you use a coil that was designed for a later, much superior ignition system, then you have to keep everything working perfectly

the reason the bypass is used is so the coil gets as much "current" as possible when the starter is loading the battery heavily - if everything's tickety it'll fire even tho there's not as fat a spark with the resistance in the circuit
