The instruction sheet I found has this:

    Q. What type of coil do I need?
    A. The ignitor is compatible only with a “points type” coil. Eight
    cylinder engines require a minimum of 1.5 Ohms of resistance in the
    primary circuit. Four & six cylinder engines require a minimum of
    3.0 Ohms of primary resistance

So, it sounds like the 3.0 Ohm.

Absolutely 3.0 ohms.  The 1.5 ohms is for the cars that have a ballast =

Pertronix makes a flame thrower coil which is excellent.

I have a V8 stag. I did away with the ballast and bought the 3 ohm
Pertronix coil. Only after reading the material. It says use a 1.5 without
ballast . 3.0 is not recommended for v8.

...has nothing to do with the Pertronix, rather if you have a ballast 
wire feeding your current coil installation. (no ballast 3 ohms (with 
ballast 1.5 ohms)

In both cases you simply run the RED wire from the Pertronix module to a 
true 12V source (not the coil+ if you have a ballast wire)
