If you use a standard 12 volt coil, you should be able to use stock points without any problems. Do not use a ballast resistor with this configuration. Use a ballast resistor only if you are using a 6 volt coil on a 12 volt system.

Many of these high performance coils draw more current than a standard coil. They simply need to - you won't get a hotter spark any other way. I suspect this is why your points burned out quickly.

If you keep your 12 volt system, your options are these: 1) Use a standard 12 volt coil and no ballast resistor, or a 6 volt coil with a ballast resistor. 2) Try converting to electronic ignition. You should be able to use that high energy coil with solid state ignition.
