Some early cars, all makes, used a circuit that switched out the ballast resistor when the starter was being used to give a fatter spark. It would then switch back to 3 ohm for normal running. Check that this car has this sort of system. That doesn't address your 456 problem. Bentley 6 cylinder firing order is probably 1-5-3-6-2-4. Check that.

Hello Derek, if he means cylinder 4-5-6 he has a hughe problem with the engine. Not coil ore distributor relatet.
One Distributor
two points
One coil!
1 4 6 2 3 5 firing order
1-6-3 one contact
4-2-5 the other one

regards, Kay
