Default Stock coil with a Vintage Mallory distributor

I just got a Mallory Distributor dual point, for my Mercury 255 flathead.

I'm getting parts together to convert to the 2g Rochester carb, and read that I need to get a mechanical advance distributor. I'm just not sure if the stock 12v coil would be enough to operate correctly.

Thank you.
