For the Pertronix, the only caveat is that the module red wire needs to get
full 12v, not the reduced voltage from the ballast/coil terminal. Otherwise
it doesn't matter as long as the type of coil matches whether a ballast is
present.
There are some other electronic ignitions with more complicated requirements
(for example, the Crane XR3000 wants a ballast-type coil without a ballast),
but the Pertronix is easy.
