With that said.. I am going to return the part and get the Pertronix 1442 and 40611 coil. For those of you following this.. that coil is 3 OHM and has epoxy internal which is necessary for horizontally mounted coils such as in the 154's

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it :D

I put the Pertronix brand ignition with a 3 ohm flamethrower coil. Fired right up and purs like a kitten. Has never run and started better. I tapped to .025. Nice blue spark almost jumps 1/2 inch on spark tester.
