I knew you would ask me that. I grabbed my 1970 Falcon factory shop manual genuine one and here are some useful specs for you. Coil primary resistance is 1.40 to 1.54 ohms. Secondary resistance is 8000 to 8800 ohms. Current draw engine stopped is 4.5 amps. Engine at idle speed is 2.5 amps. Primary circuit resistance wire resistance is 1.30 to 1.40 ohms. All tests were at 75 deg F. So therefore your total primary circuit resistance should be approx 3 ohms. Condenser is .15 to .20 mfd. All official FORD MOTOR Co Specs. Hope this will help you.
