Coils and Ignitors.

Is there any way you can determine whether a car requires a coil and ignitor with a resister or without?
My only thoughts on the use of resisters were than if you ran 12v over the old points type system you'd hammer the points and burn them out quickly, hence the resister dropped voltage at the points to ~6v.
However I've seen a few of the later Toyotas running coils and ignitors with resistors - is it to keep the ignitor cooler perhaps?
Thoughts/Comments? Anyone?

What engine, ECU, coil and igniter are you talking about here? The resistors are always just to limit the current going into the coil, to stop it cooking (and to stop points from cooking for those of us driving pre-jurassic era cars!)

3TGTEU - dumb dizzy remember
no ECU
i want to use lets say a coil and ignitor from a 4AC (whatever) to trigger a dual post 4AGZE coil (you should know where i got that from shinny) to fire the standard dizzy.
