Yes, I think you need a balast resistor. The good news is that you probably already have it on an '84. Locate the two wire plug on the finder linner in front of the master cylinder. Remove the plug from the DuraSpark module and use an OHM meter to measure the resistance from the red wire to the "BAT" lead on the coil. If you see about .5 OHM, thats the ballast resistor. I did the DuraSpark conversion on my '84 and found the ballast resistor was existing. The ballast resistor is actually a length of resistance wire in the wiring harnest near the ingition switch.
