In my 51 Chevy truck I put in a ballast resistor to lower the voltage going to the original 6 volt points from the upgraded 12 volt battery. This may have been uneccessary but it worked and I never noticed any difference in performance. I had also heard that an installed resistor in a true 12 volt system would save wear and tear on the points too. There is no resistor in either of my cars that have the armored cable coil, so it's probably superfluous.
