What is there now has been hacked with bits of random loom spliced in and I'm going to rewire it. I just wanted to be sure of what spec coil I need as I understand my car is on a cross-over year.

You could measure across your current coil? A standard coil will read 3ish ohms, and a ballast one around half of that.

Do I measure resistance between the low tension +ve and high tension +ve terminals or between the two low tension terminals?
Thanks.

Obviously that'll tell you what is currently fitted, but I'm not sure what is supposed to be fitted.
