Ethel, a new GCL 143 has 0.9ohm. Don’t use it.

Use a coil with 1.5ohms of primary resistance and no ballast resistor, with the 65d dizzy.

For people looking for a 1,5 Ohm coil;
If you can find Bosch 0221102082 you’re golden.
Might be under F000ZS0027 depending on where you live.
Beru ZS563 might work too, these I measure at 1.7 ohms supposed to be a direct replacement for the Bosch but they measure a tad higher in resistance. If your local shop has stock, measure first.

Thats the key dusky measuring is key.

Yes rover list 0.78ohms. The point is if you run this on the coils and modules now you will have problems
. I have been fitting the 1.5 ohm coils for years and the system and coils are more reliable.

The quality of the parts nowadays is very poor compared to much more expensive original equipment

You can say that one again AC, quality is very poor on lots of components

After reading this thread I got myself a 1.5ohm coil.Instant improvement, pulling better from low revs but a tiny bit more reluctant to start which I'm happy to live with.

per a recent youtube video, I posted a question of 1.5 ohm vs 0.8 ohm for an original 65D, and AC replied with 0.8 ohm. Seems like perhaps he found the Viper coils dont cause issues and are of good quality, so new suggestion is 0.8 ohm with a 65D.

Update to this post; use a 0.8ohm coil with the 65d dizzy. Use no ballast resistor. This is a variable dwell unit and does not need a ballast to run the 0.8ohm coil. Run with 0.035" plug gaps on normally aspirated applications.
