The Pertronix ignition (and many other electronic ignition systems)  
usually needs a resistance of 3 Ohm. A lower resistance may lead to 
failure of the Pertronix. A 1,5 Ohm coil should be used together with a 
1,5 Ohm ballast resistor. If you use a 3 Ohm coil you will not need the 
ballast resistor.
