What is the difference or advantage between a 1.5 ohm coil and using a 3.0 ohm coil with a Pertronix electronic ignition module? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I know that when I had trouble with an MSD box the rep told me that the type of plug wire is important. So I bought some new ones and never put the thing back in. |

I don't know about MSD, but Mallory requires a 1.4 ohm coil or a 3 ohm coil and a resistor.
Find out before you hook things up. Frying an ignition module on the freeway is not fun, but is expensive. |
