Resistors...

Ballast resistors run from around 0.4 ohms to 1.5 ohms, depending on the coil 
and system you're using.  Coil primary resistance can also vary in the same 
range.  Its the ratio between the two that determines the voltage the coil 
gets, and the total resistance that determines the primary current.  If 
you're running points, I'd say use about 1.5 ohms each....If you're using 
breakerless, then 0.5 ohms each is about right.
