I got a Mopar electronic ignition for my 1970 Challenger, but it came with no instructions for wiring it up.  I'm putting this car together from scratch, so I have nothing to go off of.  I am currently under the impression that the wires go as follows:


Black/white and Grey/black:  to distributor


Black/yellow:  - side of coil


Blue/yellow:  Feed side of ballast resistor


Green/red:  not used


Please help if you can.  Also, do I need to use a ballast resistor?  I thought they were mainly to avoid burning up your points. 


Thanks

yes you need the ballast resistor it breaks down the voltage so you do not burn up the coil the wiring is correct

My Mopar.com has a great wiring diagram, you can look it up on the internet.
