One word...
Ballast resistor.
Oh, that's two words.

Ballasts can also be used simply to deliberately reduce the current flow in an ordinary, positive-resistance circuit. Prior to the advent of solid-state ignition, automobile ignition systems commonly included a ballast resistor to regulate the voltage applied to the ignition system.

Does it require a Ballast Resistor? ...and if so are the voltages acurate....it should be batt+ voltage to the resistor and at least a 3 volt drop to the + side of the coil....

Bad ground in the system
