Hello again!

I got my analogue multimeter and it measured 8.2 volt on the positive side of the coil during idle. I am satisfied with that and therefore I am gonna keep the ballast resistor. The car is also running great.

However, I do wonder: Would it make any difference, performance wise, if there were 7, 8 or 9 volt at the positive side of the coil? For example under load?
