I'm a new member so I hope I'm not raising a question that's already been beat to death. I'm in the middle of a tune up of a 1957 F40 (replacing points, condenser, rotor, cap, plug wires, plugs, and coil). The original coil says something like "must be used with an external resistor," but my new coil says "external resistor not necessary." Should I take the coil back or just remove the external resistor from the system? Although it can get cold in Oklahoma, I don't really expect to be starting it in really cold weather. In fact, I'll be storing the tractor inside. If it's okay to use this coil and remove the resistor, where exactly do I find the resistor?
I'll appreciate any and all advice.
