Hi Andrew,
I don't have any experience on this distributor, but on the link you posted is another link to the owners manual and the following explains what the coil requirement is:
WARNING!
The e-FIRE ignition module must be used with a points style coil only, with a resistance in the primary circuit of at least 3.0 Ohms (Ω) or 1.5 Ohms with a ballast resistor. DO NOT use a low-resistance or HEI-style coil. Coils of less than 1.5 Ohms resistance are not suitable and will invalidate the warranty.


regards, Richard
