The resistor is needed now. The points and coil are both operating at 13.6 volts instead of 10 volts or what ever the non working system had in it. The resistor is going to be added anyway, so doing it now is just best practice. One of the reasons the system might be sputtering to a stop is an overheated coil (feel it just after it quits running and if it is toasty it may be causing your deteriorated performance.) Any mid 60s chevrolet ballast resistor, or chrysler resistor will work fine for just a few bucks. Put it right on the coil bracket. Attach the ignition lead to it, and it to the positive coil terminal. Jim
