I installed a 1.5 ohm resister in front of the internally resisted Bosh Blue (which reads about 3.0 ohms resistance). These 2 combined helped bring my voltage to the coil down but it may not be enough.

I am running a 12 volt neg ground system after the coil I am seeing 8 volts is that still too many amps at the points?
Sounds like way to much resistance. You should not need a ballast resistor with a 3.0 ohm coil, something isn't right here. Any idea what the system voltage is at higher rpms?
