I misread your question, and now see from the post above that you are talking about the resistor I mentioned.
Short answer is that you don't want 12v going to your points. They are designed to take 6v. Even the standard 12v automotive systems that used points stepped the voltage down to 6v before going to the coil and points.
Chrysler, especially, but others, too, used to use a two-sided resistor wired up so that it fed 12v to the coil only while cranking but switched back to 6v once the motor was running. Worked fine, but it was common to replace that resitor when one side burned out. Point is that even with that setup, you didn't feed a steay diet of 12v to your points -- it will only burn them up faster.
