hello, I just got a Mallory Unilite distributor and also purchased a MSD Blaster 2 coil. I was wondering, if I need to install the ballast resistor (MSD part number: PN8203)

According to the Summit Racing Equipment site, the Ballast Resistor should be included and used.

MSD-8203

Do only connect the red wire from the distributor, or does there have to be another wire connected, like the starter?

Has anyone tried the Blaster 2 on a 78? research shows it has the right resistance and could be considered a 'performance upgrade' to the stock coil.
