I'm not sure if the "2" uses a ballast resistors,
I just went through this with two Stags. One has Pertronix ignition, the
other lumenition. Lumenition requires you to keep the ballast setup.
Pertronix says to do away with the ballast, but instead of using a 3 ohm
coil, it says to use a 1.5 Ohm coil.
Based on this you need to get the matching coil for the ignition.
For the Lumenition setup I use the Bosch red (this coil needs a ballast and
is a 1.5 ohm / 1.8 ohm coil)
For the Pertronix I have a 1.5 ohm coil and no ballast.
Folks have said, if you have an original point setup without ballast, use a
3.0 ohm coil.
Hope this hasn't confused you
