Regardless of what some may say, points[ as well as condensers] do not like 12v..Depending on what coil your using depends on where the resistor should be located.. 12v probably shouldn't hurt any coil.. If you know your using a 12v coil I'd stick the resistor in the ground line,, for a 6v coil I'd try it the hot/feed line..Voltage at any set of automotive points that I've ever come in contact with should be run on 5-7v..
