What you are asking is not simple. You need to eliminate any resistance in the feed wire to the PII. It and the coil require the full +12V and associated current to operate. The short answer is to find some way to bypass the factory resister while still appearing like the factory spade connectors are still attached. You could leave all that in place and run a new wire in parallel with that circuit that you hide. However if I remember correctly the factory resistance is split between the feed (+) side and the tach (-) side, so you would still see half the resistance in the circuit if you just ran one wire. Concealing two wires gets to be even more involved.

I would suggest just leaving the resistor in place, disconnecting it and using spade adapters with the exiting wires to bypass it. This would not damage the factory wires or add any non-factory wires. Then you can always reconnect it and put the points and factory coil back when you want to show or sell it.
