I have recently bought a Bosch GT40R coil.

I am also about to purchase a Pertronix electronic ignition kit.

Will the GT40R coil work with the electronic ignition?

Cheers Matty

Interesting Pertronix reading:

Interesting Bosch Coil reading:

So the GT40R is a 1.2 Ohm coil (1.5 Ohms recommended by Pertronix?)

Maybe the GT40RT might have been a better option.

I'd probably drop an email/call to the pertronix people.

Cheers Chris

Email sent to Pertronix.

Do you know what a difference of .3 OHM might mean to performance and longevity?

Yes, lower Ohms draws more amps, which could cause the Pertronix to burn up. It depends on how much amps the Pertronix can handle.
