The resistor mates with the COIL. It's the coil design that requires, or
not, the series resistor. It does effectively protect the points, but high
resistance coils don't need 'em and low resistance coils do.

(Low resistance could build up a magnetic field FASTER, and the resistor
limits total current once charged.)

TFI type coils need 'em; a lot of old cylindrical types do not. What makes
it confusing is that some of the old canister coils that need resistors, use
the resistance wire in the harness as their resistor,so you can't tell by
glancing under the hood if it's there or not.
