FYI: Coil current would only follow the I=V/R formula with the points (or electronic equivalent) closed and the engine OFF.
I don't want to bore you all with the details of inductance and what is essentially a high frequency AC system, but the only good way to actually know what the coil current is would be to actually measure it with the engine running.

I always thought it would be nice if someone made an "old low RPM engine electronic ignition" that used less dwell than a modern system. Not saying this is an issue, but it seems like it could be.
