MSD has discontinued apparently the one I was hunting. A 1.8 ohm will work just fine.

However for the particular car a certain distributor and coil I am working on for a customer I had hoped for 2.5 ohms, to get the primary to 3.2 with a skip coil 12V. This car is going on a 14,000 mile essentially non stop trip next year and I was hoping to get "picky" on the primary resistance to ensure point life. I may just stack resistors.
