Did the coil originally have a high wattage low resistance balance resistor?

These reduce the 12-14v to about 9v as the coil can't take the full car voltage on some older ignition circuits.

If it is open - no spark if the electronic ignition squirted a full 12v down the coil it may have fried it.

If every thing was like for like then probably not an issue
