If you are using your stock coil, I think you should leave your stock resistor in place. Go to the following ling at Pertronix's website:

http://www.pertronix.com/ignition/tech/tech.htm#What%20type%20of%20coil%20can%20I%20use%2 0with%20the%20Ignitor™?%20How%20do%20I%20check%20m y%20coils%20resistance?

It tells how to check your ignition system so you can tell whether of not you need the resistor.
