Bypass? What does this refer to?
again, I appreciate the help here.

Lucforce, sometimes I type like I speak, I don't understand myself sometimes.

you have a ballast resistor, it has a resisted terminal that will provide 6-9 volt to the coil, and a bypass terminal, hook this up to the S terminal on the starter, this will provinde the coil with full battery voltage whail cranking, once the bypass is switched off ( no power from starter ) than the resistor takes over. the voltage is reduced to the coil because of heat.
