Will ANY 12V internal ballast ignition coil work?

Posted by FordPig on June 11, 2014 at 17:54:02 from (199.15.219.170):

I have a Ford 4000 that's been converted to 12 volts. The coil tests iffy on it, so I'm replacing it.

The coil on it now is an externally ballasted one. It has a ballast resistor strapped to the side of it and the + side of the coil running through the resistor and to the side of the distributor.

The Ignition post from the starter solenoid to the - terminal on the coil shows 0 ohms resistance.

I take this to mean I should just use an internal ballast coil.

So, since I have several coils on my shelf already, can I grab any one of them that is internal ballast 12v, and it's good to go?
