NO, on the Mallory, the .8 ohms will kill the Pertronix almost immediately. You may be able to reduce that with a resistor, but I have no experience with that and nothing to suggest. I always buy the correct, matching Pertonix coil in black and turn the label to the firewall and, for most people, it appears as a stock coil would. I have 3 of those Pertronix III's in cars and haven't had any issues.

That's exactly what I was afraid of, thank you. They have that coil in chrome. I could put an Accel sticker on it and no-one would be the wiser so that's the plan
