The car will run but no it’s not really ok. The primary resistance should be very low around .6 ohms. The cdi system is designed to use a low inductance “transformer” coil. You won’t hurt anything by using the standard ignition coil but you’ll be reducing the efficiency of your ignition system.

Look at Pertronix coil # 45111 - 0.6 ohm and epoxy filled. I have been running one for years.
