Distributor wiring

[dadsgreentruck]

I recently gutted my old points distributor and installed an electronic conversion. The coil I have requires a balast resistor. I got key on power for the module from the yellow wire that was going to the + side of the coil and I installed a balast resistor to the coil. Everything seems to work properly, but... from a cold start (first start of the day)... it takes three starts to stay running. I have since discovered that there is a resistance wire in the circuit that the yellow wire feeds from. Would I get better results from running a separate key on 12v line to the distributor module and eliminating the redundant balast?
