TR2 does NOT use a ballast
=20
Needs a 3.0 ohm coil

I'm not sure if the "2" uses a ballast resistors, =20
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.=20
=20
Folks have said, if you have an original point setup without ballast, =
use a 3.0 ohm coil.
Hope this hasn't confused you

I run a 50+ year old Lucas Sport coil on both my cars. I also carry a =
spare in each... those are also 50+year old Sport coils.

I have never had a vintage coil fail but did have a couple of nearly-new =
coils let me down before I finally gave up on them.

Hello List:
Have been using a 50+ year old Lucas Sport coil on my '2 for some time=20
and realize I may be pressing my luck with this one. Looking for a=20
recommendation for a replacement; will keep the old Sport as a "get me=20
home" spare.
Understand the "new" Lucas Sports have had their share of premature=20
failures. Also considered a Bosch "blue". Lots of after-market "super=20
coils" from Pertronix & the like.
Any recommendations & good experiences out there?
Thanks!
