Hello!
I contacted Mallory regarding my Mallory distributor 27 series with dual points. It needs 3 ohms (original resistance wire 1.5, MSD blaster 2 coil 0.7 and ballast resistor 0.8= total 3 ohm) so I seem to have the right parts installed.
However, the ballast resistor increases to 1.5 when hot, so I´m thinking I could skip it and buy a coil with 1.4 primary resistance and combine it with the original wire resistance wich gives me a total of 3 ohms. What do you all say? My car was shaking and died last week and I thought I solved by changing coil and condenser, but then it happened again the day after. I think this was casued by to much resistance caused by the warm summer (no problem touching the coil). I have no reason to suspect vapor lock, but I do think that the new condenser was bad.
