Ok, I was a bit confused that the raised lettering on the top of the Mallory coil says "VOLTMASTER 6 V" and then there is this resistor attached to the "-" terminal that also says 6 V. I thought since this was an aftermarket product, that maybe it had something unique to do with the Mallory distributor. And with no instructions attached....

So If I have a resistor under my dash because I have a stock '52 F-1 flattie 8 setup, I can remove the resistor from the coil? Or is vice versa the better solution? Or...should I talk to a really old person at Mallory Ignition, lol?
