[Healeys] Lucas Sports Coil

Don't ballasted systems require two primary circuits; i.e. one for
starting (non-ballasted) and one for running (ballasted)? The
distributor won't care, as it switches the primary circuit--12V or
otherwise--to ground.
AFAIK, Sports Coils are not ballasted, and work with std. Healey
ignition circuits. The nominal resistance for Healey-suitable coils is
just over 1 ohm (i.e. only slight internal resistance). Neither our BN2
or BJ8 has ballasted systems.
I could be wrong (but this should start an interesting thread ;)
