Yep, Brain fart here, what year is yours robopineapple? Those ( thankfully) went away early in the 70's...( Although Datsun/Nissan didn't have very good electronic ignition in the beginning. I member a $350 module ony first and only Maxima! They were notorious for dying early.
If yours is a swap, careful, the resistor is to lower the current to the points, yours may not have a need for that so if you do install it, it will be lower current than you need.
We had a 79 810 wagon, loved it. Got totalled, bought an 83 Maxima wagon for replacement, hated it...super gutless ( I'm sure 810 5 speed vs. Maxima auto trans was most of it).
Probably, BUT it's nice to see project progress, especially on weeks I haven't made any myself that week(s). It has also been a good resource for him and I during questions. Just my two cents worth. I personally don't check the build threads, almost nothing on A-10's.
See if you can find an original paint book, OR a piece big enough for them to use a "UV LIGHT GUN" on. Good paint store can match it based on a sample piece... certainly close enough for a complete job.
