I just read an article that showed a coil can be tested with an ohm meter by checking across the two small posts and then checking from one small post to the spark plug connector.

This was for the Model A but did not give any spec's as it said "Determine the resistance using your multimeter and check to see if it's within the acceptable range".

What is the acceptable range on a 6V coil on the Model A?
