I have a ballast resistor with my stock Toyota coil and have Pertronix conversion (Condenser unhooked).
I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether I need to retain the ballast resistor with my factory coil and Pertronix conversion - I have read Yes and No.
That's the first question.
2nd question, if I convert to a Pertronix coil, assume I do not need a ballast resistor? And is their coil worth the swap?
I have to say, this FJ40/2F is trickier than my 2nd generation Supra was to work on. I didn't any resources other than the factory manual and some basic mechanic/performance common sense back in the 80's and did all sorts of mods to that engine (fine tune fuel injection, ported heads/intake/exhaust, reground cam, valve spring shims, higher compression/overbore, etc) I can't even figure out the ignition system on a 2F!
