Tom,

Be safe and use 3 Ohms for a single coil or 1,5 Ohms for a coil plus 1,5 
Ohms for the ballast resistor. On my car I have disabled the shorting of 
the ballast resistor during cranking and it starts without fail within 
one turn of the crank.

Cheers,

Kees Oudesluijs

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