Arent the Lucas Sport Gold coils 40k volt coils? Looking around online I found very mixed info on running that sort of voltage with points, with pertronix or similar skys the limit it seems but I left the points on my car when I changed them because I like the experience of working on the car. I actually had a pertronix on hand originally but returned it in favor of points once I realized setting then wasnt terribly difficult and I also didnt want to deal with the potential tachometer problems. While digging around online earlier I found a Lucas coil that seems to fit the bill so I think I'll order it, its a DLB102, proper ohms, voltage and I dig how it looks.
Not sure on the voltage. I run a DLB105, which is the high 3.0ohm resistance version. My petronix is the magnetic older one, not the optical one, never had a problem with the tach. But then again the stock tach is a bit of a joke in terms of accuracy anyway.
