The pick-up coil should have a resistance of about 300 ohms. You can also, if you remove the distributor from the engine, connect a AC voltmeter across the pick-up coil.

I have a 1967 D-400 that I converted to electronic ignition using the later Mopar electronic distributor for the 318/360 but I used a GM 4 pin HEI Chip instead of the Chrysler control box. I did this because it made the wiring simpler and I could ditch the ballast resister. I did have to build a heat sink for the HEI Chip.
