I think Ford prior to 1975 used a special kind of Wire that had a certain OHM resistance value "Per Foot". It was used from the + side of the coil to the 12 Volt switched hot source whether it was from the ignition switch or the fuse block. Once they introduced the 1st generation of electronic ignition the transistors began doing the work.
