A 59D and 1.5ohm coil should work fine together. Does the wiring loom still have the standard 1.5ohm resistor?

If the car has been sitting for 5 years the petrol would have gone off and if the engine even starts it will often misfire, run rough and cut-out.

 

If you have not put in fresh fuel you will need to drain the old fuel from the tank and clean the carb of any sediment in the float chamber.

 

New E10 petrol also attacks old rubber fuel pipes and causes leaks, Minispares sell E10 resistant fuel pipe.
