I had a Pertronix unit in the distributor at one time using this coil. The name doesn't mean anything, just the ohms. I have a few more coils on the shelf, one being an old Ford yellow top coil, and none have any more resistance. I don't understand why I'm getting such high amps using the often recommended resistance. It seems like any change I make will take a good while to show the results in points life.
