What do you think.
That is a 1.4 ohm and stacked with a .8-1.0 ohm original equates to pretty much what my math concludes is perfect for a 12V skip coil. (skips coils tend to be .7-.8 ohms whether 6 or 12 V)

Most people aren't driving these cars enough to even really matter by I am being nit picky..
