Mechanical points can tolerate a maximum current flow of maybe 5 amps. That "Blaster" coil is capable of flowing around 15 amps in the primary circuit. It's intended to be used with a solid state ignition module that does not have points. The points will look like an arc welder if they're allowed to flow that much current. If you use a big enough ballast resistor to limit the primary current to an acceptable amperage, there's no reason not to use a plain old original equipment coil with the correct resistor for that application.
