Here's a well-deserved thread bump and a pic of these dust caps on my Granada early '71.  Thanks Brett!

Thanks @HBChris. Here is a reverse angle shot of my coil and ballast resistor setup.  My car seems to run and drive fine in the two years I've owned it regarding ignition, but if there are improvements to be had, I'm all for it.  Do I just want to jumper the leads to the ballast resistor together to bypass it, or is there a bit more to it than that?  Let me know if more pics are needed to determine that.

 

Thanks,

Gary

By the way, thanks to Chris' keen eye, my ballast resistor is no longer part of the circuit with my blue coil.  The resistor is still attached to the fender for the correct factory look, but the wire leads aren't connected.  I suspect I never noticed this original owner modification before because my Pertronix electronic ignition was able to deal better with the reduced spark than points would have.

Running one more production run of the Dust Caps if anyone is interested.  Then going to focus on other 3D Printed parts - going to be making some custom console pods for the VDO Gauges, and some other parts.

 

Thank you all!
