I have an Ignitor II and matching .6 ohm coil on mine (may be why it keeps 
on running at 350 rpm when idle goes bananas). My understanding is that 
with the Ignitor you do not need the resistor even with a standard coil 
since dwell is controlled and no current flows when engine is off.

I have the switched 12v feeding directly to the + side of the coil with 18 
gauge wire (same as to the ignition switch. This then connects to the red 
wire on the Pertonix. The black wire from the Pertonix goes to the - side 
of the coil. Can hook a dwell-tach there. No condenser.

Might consider something like this.
