With all of this discussion on what a ballast resistor does, does 
anyone know about the match between the inductance of the coil and
capacitance of the condensor?  My situation is that I have an 
older MG that no longer has the original coil, but the Lucas
Sports coil that I have now although it works fine is, I believe,
not well matched to the original-value condensor, and hence I
seem to go through points more quickly than I should.

Any ideas?  Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
Bill Putnam
