You don't have to take care of all the ballast stories if you go the
123ignition way, except that the coil should have at least 1 ohm resistance
in the primary windings. The 123ignition has a built in automatic dwell
control which controls the current flowing through the coil (+ many other
useful features).

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Electronic Ignition
A ballast resistor, if present, is fitted in series with the coil and has
nothing to do with the electronic ignition as such. All you need to check is
that the total resistance over the coil with or without a ballast resistor
is conform the requirements of the electronic ignition system. It is usually
3 Ohms, but can vary.
