I still believe the resistor is only used with the Ford coil up to 1948. 1949 to 55 never seen any resistor or Chevys Chrysler prod. etc. with the can coils. 12 volt systems yes
need a resistor. That goes for pos or neg ground. I run a can coil on my 46 no resisor no problem for 16 yrs daily driver...
