You need to determine what the new coil you have is. Their are actual 12V coils with a 12V primary winding that do not need any kind of a resistor. Their are also coils made to work on a 12V system,but only with a resistor connected between the ignition switch and positive primary coil terminal. This type of coil is usually marked on the outside as being 12V WITH AN EXTERNAL RESISTOR. The coil box,installation instructions,or writing on the coil case should state if the coil needs an exernal resistor. If you need a resistor,any auto parts store should have one for a 60's 6or V8 Chrysler product which is a good compromise of good spark along with long point life.
