Tom:
I didn't think about the gas formula idea.  Could be it, I guess. I did 
figure out how to test the coil. It pulls .9 ohms across the pimary 
circuit and 10.6 ohms across the secondary circuit. Now I have to figure 
out what's normal for this coil. Pertronix says it's a "super low 
resistance .6 ohm" coil. If my coil in fact has .9 resistance, that's 
50% higher than it's claimed tto have, so maybe the coil is in fact 
toast, if I'm reading things correctly.
