Peter,
the coil should have at least 1 ohm resistance in the primary windings. If it
hasn't, put a resistor in series with the coil adding to a total of at least 1
ohm. Or buy a new coil with at least 1 ohm resistance. If the coil has at least
1 ohm resistance in the primary windings (and it is a 12V coil), throw out the
ballast resistor.
I found curve 'B' with 13-15B0 BTDC @ tickover working extremely good in my car
(BT7 with BJ8 engine specs).
Kind regards

A friend of mine is putting a 123 distributor in his Bj8. The circuit diagram
that comes with it shows a ballast resistor with the coil. Is this essential
for the 123 distributor? (The instructions don't mention this, just
recommend using a new coil)
