Resistance Wire From Ignition Switch To Coil Replacement

So I finally think I found the problem with the heep not starting. It is not getting a spark from the coil and I have replaced the coil, control module, and starter solenoid. I checked the resistance in the wire from the ignition switch to the coil and it was 1.8 ohms when my manual says it should be 1.35 ohms. I believe this is what is causing the coil not to fire because when it is turning over it only gets around 8.8V instead of 10V. I went to kragen and they sold me a ballest resistor I was going to wire in place of the resistance wire. When I got home I checked and it is actually around 5 ohms. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a new resistance wire or resistor that is correct?

Please don't start a new thread for a problem you already posted. It's too confusing since you already got alot of help on the other thread.

I think I was mistaken....I put a new ballest resistor on and now when it is turned on the on position it gives about 12V when it should be 6V like before, and when it cranks over it is still about 8.8V. I have no idea what is going wrong....

Alright feel free to delete this one. I just found a specific problem I thought it would get better input with a more detailed title.
