I don't know the exact resistance of a good coil, but maybe someone could offer that information. As far as voltage, forget it. Be aware that a coil's resistance could measure within spec, but due to the high voltage involved, there could be a breakdown in the windings making the coil "fire" improperly.

so for starters... would replacing the coil be a good start IF not getting any spark? im sure Kragian or Pep Boys will let me return if nothing changes
