[Healeys] Pertronix III

[James Lea]

After rechecking everything, she started right up so I drove downtown and 
she died again. So I just installed a new coil in hopes that it might be the 
problem. In the process of putting in the new coil I was reading the paper 
that came with the Pertronix. It says "The ohm reading must be 1.5 ohms or 
greater for six and eight cylinder engines and 3.0 ohms or greater for four 
cylinder engines. Since I had a Flamethrower 3.0 coil on the car, might that 
have been the problem and it burned out something?  If so it ran for several 
years that way. Cheers, JL
