points replacement options, a whole bunch of questions actually Options

[brant]

This is all for an early 911 motor with and ancient 1967- 2 piece points distributor.
I was intending to run a pertronix ignitor points replacemnt in it, but found out last night that it doesn't fit.....

so now I'm re-educating and re-shopping...

I run a crane in a different car and see that they do make a model to fit this dinasaur....
but my first question:

-Does an inline resistor prior to a coil, ultimately hurt the strength of the spark put out from the coil?

next question: I'm running an MSD box and their blaster coil, but want to replace the points...
-Does MSD make a points replacement now?

anybody know what other racers are using to replace points... specifically other racers with these ancient/small 2.0/6 vintage motors?

Ran the Crane Allison on the race cars without a resistor and came up with two problems:

1. The spark was so "hot" it disintegerated the cap center electrode, but the spark would still jump from the cap to the rotor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

2. The spark was so brilliant, it would trigger the LED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) or was it the spark jumping around inside causing the misfire?

Yea, I put the resistor in line to drop the voltage to the coil to 9V. No problems after that and no fouled plugs.
