you only need to use the ballast resistors with a points type distributor, not with an electronic one.

ya I noticed that, the second time i went over the instructions there thanks lots. I doubt the coils will make a big difference but im going to mount them vertically when my Respeed coil mount comes. Hopefully I can find a spot to mount them that is tasteful
