Looks fine to me. Be sure to check the actual numbers with measurements to be sure.

With the engine off, the dissipation in the loom resistor will be about 25W (6.16V x 4.1A) …. That’s quite a lot of heat. How long is it, and where is it located? Is this an original part on the car, or an add on?

With the engine running, the power will be reduced to around 14W average because of the points opening and closing.
