Re: The coil 140-160 1970

Chris,

Assuming your car has a standard points-type distributor, not electronic, I'd stick with the resistor coil. I've tried substituting a standard 12 volt coil and it made not a jot of difference. The 164 uses a resistor to extend the life of the ignition points, which make contact more often in a six than in a four cylinder engine.
