Here is the official data on the coils:
MK III: Lucas #5195 3.1 to 3.5 ohms
MK IV: Lucas #45232 1.43 to 1.58 ohms
1500: Lucas #45243 1.30 to 1.45 ohms
As you can see, a 6-volt ballasted coil has a lower primary resistance.
BTW, to accurately measure these low resistance values, you need a decent
digital meter.
