Yep.
One wants only 6v to the points regardless of battery voltage. [ no more than 8v with 12v battery]
So, the Pertronix 40111 is 1.5 ohm and epoxy filled. If 12v was to feed this coil a ballast resistor would be needed.
Thats my take unless I'm missing something.
And, to the original question. the sparkler gap can remain the same. .035"
