I have electric ignition swapped out for original points ignition. I have the original coil on there now and was wondering what I would get the best performance out of. Im buying a FlameThower Coil but If there's anything better let me know or if there's any better brand that make good coils! Thanks!
(1972 Ford Ranger with 390ci)
1.5ohm or 3.0ohm 40,000v coil?

Re: 1.5ohm or 3.0ohm 40,000v coil?
I bought my electronic ignition conversion kit from http://www.hot-spark.com/1-3FOR8U1.htm Since it's the only one I've tried, I can't say it's better or worse than anything else but I haven't had any trouble with it. My original coil had a different resistance than they recommend so I bought the one they sell that matches their kit. http://www.hot-spark.com/1-HS17HEC.htm
