How to test coil with igniter
Hey guys,

I have some problems getting my engine running. Somehow i don't get a spark.
Starting the engine with or without the 'coil with igniter' gives me same result, so i bet it should have something to do with the coil w igniter.

What I did to test the coil:

1. Testing primary resistance between coil + and - terminals = 1 Ohm
2. Testing secondary resistance between coil tower and + = 12.6k Ohm

So my guess is that the coil is fine.

The igniter gets juice:

1. Red=12v, Yellow=5v and one giving a changing 0-2.5v when cranking.

I got new ignition cables. Could it be my distributor?
