I have a new Pertronix 2 Igniter and Flamethrower 2 coil I would like to install in my 10/71 1972 240z. Car currently has Pertronix 1 and 1.5 coil that is wired to ballast resistor.

How do I bypass the resistor? I know to attach red igniter  wire to positive coil and black igniter wire to negative coil. Do I attach black/white wire on previous coil to new coil positive side with igniter red wire?

 Then can the other black/white and green/white wire be attached to the same post on resistor to bypass them? Condenser at distributor is unplugged, what about condenser at coil can it be removed?

I attached a picture of current set up of Pertronix 1.

Thanks for the help.

Ended up attaching shorter B/W wire and red igniter wire to + coil. Black igniter to - coil. Removed ballast and connected longer B/W wire and G/W wire together with double male spade connecter. Removed coil condenser. Set timing by test driving. Runs great.

Sorry you didn't get any help.  That's a very common type of question though.  You didn't really need to remove the condenser.  Does your tach still work correctly?  

Looks like you got the correct wires to the correct coil terminals.

Tach works fine. Heard coil was for am radio static suppression and wasn't needed so just put it in the parts saved box.
