<VV> Ignition question

[Paul Michalczyk]

Greetings,

I am installing a DIS (distributorless ignition system) which requires a 
12 V source. My question is, is there a resistor, or resistor wire, in 
the positive lead to the original distributor? The wiring diagram in the 
factory manual does not show any resistors or resistor wire, unless you 
count the voltage drop through the 20gauge wire from the ignition switch 
to the coil. Checking voltage at the coil, I find a .4 V drop, with no 
load. I would like to use the existing wire, if possible. If I do, 
should I remove the wire from the starter solenoid? As always, many 
thanks for your help and advice.
