I agree.  I have a 74 and when I put a breakerless ignition in the car, I
didn't realize that it had a ballast  resistance wire in the harness.  On an
earlier car you run without the resistor on the firewall.  On the 74s there is
no ceramic resistor, but a resistor wire leading up to the coil.  When I
hooked up my breakerless system, the car ran poorly above 4500 RPM.  Once I
found out about the "resistor" wire and disconnected it, the car ran great!!!
