Default Re: Resistor Coil

First of all, are we talking an original Ford-type coil that mounts right on top of the distributor or a modern "can-type" coil? Just make sure the coil itself is not "very old". They tend to deteriorate with age. At least test the primary and secondary windings for the proper resistance. (<10 ohms on the primary and more than 10,000 on the secondary.)
