new BOSCH coil #00059 (0 221 122 345) is not to spec? 200 1988

I purchased a new BOSCH coil because the secondary resistance was high on my original coil.

The new coil is further out of spec than the original !!
Doesn't this specification limit the power through the distributor and to the plugs?

What, if anything, is getting cooked?

(spec. 1.1 -1.3 ohm)
