[Healeys] Hi Voltage Coil

[Tom Felts]

Thanks Kees.  The 1.5ohm is for V8's.  3 ohm for 6 and 4's.  That was my concern with using the 1.5 for the Healey 6.Tom

The Pertronix ignition (and many other electronic ignition
 systems)  usually needs a resistance of 3 Ohm. A lower resistance
 may lead to failure of the Pertronix. A 1,5 Ohm coil should be
 used together with a 1,5 Ohm ballast resistor. If you use a 3 Ohm
 coil you will not need the ballast resistor.

For those who use Pertronix AND a 40K coil, have you ever
 used a 1.5 ohm coil in your Healey?  Reason for asking---I
 believe my coil to be going bad, so will replace it.  I have a
 Pertronix 1.5ohm coil.  it states that 6 cylinder engines need
 to use the 3 ohm coil--unless you are in a racing mode.  just
 wondering if any of you use the 1.5, and if so any
 problems----i.e., what is the downside of using the 1.5?
thanksTom
