it is a resistor to bring the voltage down going from the coil into the distributor.

NAPA has them...

Yes. If not in your situation you will fry your coil.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

No, if you change to a non-resistor type coil, or go electronic ignition.

Which coil is that?  I bought a Mallory coil that wasn't suppose to need a resistor and it fried.  That reminds me, I need to send that back for replacement.

It's called an internally resisted coil and if you use an internally resisted coil with a ballast resistor, if it will start it will burn up due to the additional heat generated...
