Ignition Resistor

Does anyone know what you need the ignition resistor for in the Contemporary. I am putting in a MassFlo EFI system which uses the Ford EECIV ecu coil TFI distributor and I am converting to an alternator with a voltage regulator on it, also am using an MSD 6AL box. Can I just remove this and the wires to it?

I think if your read the instructions on the MSD box you will find that it does not use a resistor. The resistor cut down the current available to the coil and reduced the heat build up in it.

Pull it out and throw it away. It's useless with an electronic ignition.
