Two Tone,

My Ballast resistance is / was 4.6 Ohm. You may have seen the .9 Ohm suppressor resistance following that and rounded up. If you are showing 4.5 ohm, allowing for instrument calibration etc, I would say its OK.

By changing your coil you are also changing the voltages where you measure them in the system so there is always the possibility that may be connected to your problem. Also, correct resistance cold for your flamethrower coil may not mean that it's OK hot.
