But, your last comment has merit. I've mentioned to previous posters that for drag race use it's possible to have a toggle switch wired between the fuse box and the coil + terminal. Switching out/bypassing the ballast resistor during high RPM situations allows the coil to charge much quicker, resulting in more coil/spark energy. (Of course, a toggle switch doesn't have the bling factor of a red machined aluminum box, though. )
Just remember to open the switch on the cool down drive back to the pits.
but if you leave it that way you run a chance of burning up the points and coil....as the points and coil were made for the reduced current draw with the ballast...

Please re-read the last sentence in my previous post.
