Your post has been moved to the Ford forum which will help getting the proper reply(s).

the fords in that era use a coil with a resistor in it or possibly a ballast resistor in series before the coil. or a resistor wire from the ignition. chec your haynes manual. it will save you money in the long run. toivo
