In the past, I've replaced the resistor wire in my cars, for a number of reasons. One big factor is that over time, the resistor wire looses it's value, and can provide more voltage than desired.

Another is HEI and aftermarket ignitions usually require a full 12 volts.

If switching back to a situation where you need resistance, just use an external resistor, like the Mopar ones. They are heat-sink'd, and last much longer than the old burned up wires.
