Has anyone experienced this problem, and if so, how did you resolve it?

67 Corvette with std point type ignition, runs great.

Modifications:
1. smallblock engine changed to big block
2. point type distributor converted to breakerless electronic (http://www.lectriclimited.com/mainpage.htm Breakerless Ignition conversion)
3. 9502 Powermaster mini starter with #600 replacement R terminal diode kit (http://www.jegs.com/i/Powermaster/713/600/10002/-1)

Problem:
1. Engine will crank, but will not fire, unless the ballast resistor is bypassed.

2. With the #600 replacement R terminal diode wire installed, the ballast resistor still must be bypassed in order for the engine to fire.

3. Engine will start and run fine as long as the ballast resistor is bypassed, which results in a continuous 12 volts to the coil and distributor.

Powermaster Tech Service says "it's probably OK to bypass the ballast resistor as long as the R terminal diode wire is used".

Lectric Limited Tech help says "the ballast resistor MUST BE USED in order to avoid damage to the coil and the electronic ignition".

As I see it, my current options are:
1. Use the system as is with the ballast resistor bypassed and run the risk of damaging the coil and / or electronic ignition.

2. Convert back to a points type distributor and put the ballast resistor back in the circuit.

3. Hope someone here has experienced this same problem and they figured out how to get it to work.

As always, I'm open to any and all suggestions / advice and I appreciate everyone's input.

Thanks and have a good evening.
