Pass.

Get a coil that is wound with the correct gauge wire for 3 ohms internal resistance from Pertronix with no built in resistors. They are a little over $30.00. There are many to choose from, oil filled, epoxy filled and HEI styles, and in chrome or black. Summit Racing, Jeg's or Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/ ... ix%20coils

You want to reduce heat in a coil for higher output under demanding conditions, not increase it so it reduces output and or prematurely breaks down.

Ok found a few somewhat local Petronix dealers and will be calling today, hoping they have that coil you suggested in stock. Thanks again Ted
