[Roadsters] early 67 1600 won't run

[oliver]

just to clarify.

the lower resistance coil, without the additional resistor in the circuit, 
does a lousy job of running an engine.  and will definitely smoke a 
pertronix (according to pertronix).

the car in question has standard points and condensor.

A Lucas Sport is a higher resistance coil, typically used in British cars. 
of which there are several in the same garage.

thanks to each of you for your response.

happy roadstering!
