Sounds like a coil that used a ballast resistor...primary resistance is too
low.Terry in Oakland.....see you in Reno

Digging around through a box of stuff in my garage for a spare copil to
carry on the Rallye to Reno.
I tested one that I think came out of a bugeye Sprite a few years back. Says
"Made in Mexico" on it, so it's as American as a Ford or VW Jetta.
When I tested it with a VOM, I got 1.7 as a reading across the primaries and
8,200 from the primary to the center terminal.
I may have my decimals in the wrong place, but given those numbers, does
this sound like reasonable spare coil to carry
