I'm working on a 1966 Thunderbird with the 428 engine. I have replaced the points and condenser with the Pertronics system, including their coil. They recommend removing the resister from the primary feed. The feed runs from the ignition switch to the starter relay (solenoid), then to the coil. I have checked the voltage to ground at the relay and again at the coil connection. Both places read over 12 volts. My service manual states that with the resistance wire in place, it should read about 6.6 volts. Am I missing something? It does not look like either of these wires have been replaced, and I don't see a ballast resister anywhere else. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
