<VV> Resistor Question - Update

Please see "Common Questions and Answers" on the second page question #3

Q. How to correct a low voltage problem?
A. First, if you have an external ballast 
resistor, connect the red Ignitor™ wire to the ignition wire
prior to the ballast resistor. Second, if you do 
not have a ballast resistor you must locate a 12
volt source that is controlled by the ignition 
switch to connect the red Ignitor™ wire to.

So it is not just an opinion :-)  You might also 
note that they do say to use the correct type of 
coil but that is more complicated and depends on how you wire it ...
