COIL BALLAST

HI GUYS. A quick question. For the stock ignition system,according to the wiring diagram, the ballast resistor is by-passed during cranking for full battery voltage for good startup but then runs through the ballast resistor for your running igniton, causing it to run on about 9 volts which would create a much longer chargeup time for the coil and hence an inferior spark as compared to systems running a dedicated battery voltage line to the + side of the coil. In my early 260, can I run a dedicated line to the coil without screwing up the ignition box????
