Can a Mopar Perforance electronic ignition coversion distributor run with a points style ballast resistor?  I know the ohms of resistance are different but I was wondering if I could keep the original ballast resistor in place or OE appearance or would that totally mess up my ignition system?

I was running an OE points one for a while with no problems.

Maybe you could find the correct old points dizzy and throw in a Pertronix Igniter and throw out the box.   Rewire it for stock appearance.   Jacks has that $25 repro ballast resister.
