Default TD Cortina Ingition wiring

G'day my TD has a 302 clevo now running an electronic dizzy, I have voltage drop to the ingtion side of the coil. It was orgionally a 250 with points. Do they have a ballast resistor hiding somewhere that could be causing my problem? Or where else should I look?

cheers.

Most likely a Ballast wire from memory .Follow the coil +ve back into the harness, the ballast wire is a rubbery type pink wire. It is taped in as part of the harness.
