The exact placement of the resistor in the circuit is of no importance. As long as the resistor is somewhere between the ignition switch and the points is all that is required. Voltage drop and a corosponding amperage reduction occurs regardless of resistor location. It isn't the voltage that burns points, it is the amperage. Current (amperage) is constant throughout a live circuit. That is, if measured in several locations the meter will read the same each time. Voltage (or more appropriately the voltage drop) on the other hand is measured across each component in the circuit. Depending on the resistance of that component, voltage drop varies but the total voltage drop will add up to equal the supply voltage. Mount the resistor (assuming you are going to use the 6 volt coil) anywhere in the circuit that is convienent. Be sure to secure it to the sheetmetal some place to sink (draw) the heat away from the resistor. If the resistor gets too hot the value (total resistace of the resistor) will go up and lower the availible voltage to the coil slightly, thereby reducing secondary voltage.

Ford Super Dexta - by Anthony West. The rusty blue tractor caught my eye as my truck zipped by the farm implement business. It looked so fornlorn amongst the lineup of newer equipment. But it was just the right size for my small farm. I stopped in and asked the proprietor for further information. "It's a 64 Ford Super Dexta", he said. "It's a tough little tractor, although it's a hard starter being a diesel and all." He did manage to get it running, compliments of a can of ether. Once started it putted along pretty good. It
