I'm confused (again).B  What coil resistance do I use with a Pertronix LU142A
B Ignition?B  I have two different cars and two different B setups.B  A street
TR4 which has the 1.5 ohm internal ballasted B coil and a TR4A racer with am
external B ballast and a B 3 ohm coil.B  Both are negative ground.B  Some
folks on the web say use only a 3 ohm coil (unballasted?) with the
Pertronix.B  It appears my coil shot craps on the street car and took out the
I gnitor.B  So I'm double checking what resistance coil is proper.



I want to give kudos to Marvin at Pertronix who replaced the toasted LU142A
eventhough it was out of warranty by a few weeks.B 



Thanks,



Dan
