47 Ford converted to 12 volts. Need resistor for 12 volt coil that says external resistor needed. Here are 231 to choose from.

Which one should I get?

just by a coil with an internal resister, what is doing is cutting the volts to the dist to around 8 to 9 volts, 12 volts to coil 8 or 9 to dist

Too late. It's my neighbor's car I'm trying to help him with. He's already bought a new 12 volt coil that says it needs an external resistor.

Thanks. Further research indicates that is the exact one we need.
