Bypass ballast resistor

[Redassassin]

So a couple of days ago the ignition switch on my Avenger died and being that my Avenger is a daily driver and I needed to get to work the next morning I put an ignition from a Holden Sunbird we had lying around on, that did it for a couple of days but now the engine has no spark when cranking until you stop cranking where it gets a little "kick" of spark, that ignition is off now and won't be going back on but I need to bypass the ballast resistor to see if it is faulty (REALLY hoping its not the electronic ignition module), how would I go about doing this? I have a standard 12V coil here that I can use, Thanks in advance

Not to sure on bypassing the ballast resistor, but i stumbled across this on trademe yesterday if it's any help.http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/parts-other-makes/electrics/auction-1082012216.htm

1997?

Thought that year was strange also, must be an aftermarket item.

Whelp nevermind guys, turns out the ballast and module are perfectly fine, the Holden ignition just died, I found another Avenger ignition at a wrecker though and have now got them both at the locksmith so he can swap the ignition barrels
