Hi everyone;
My son has a 1982 Volvo 242 that has covered about 50,000 miles/80,000kms
from new. We've decided to change to electronic ignition and obtained a
Pertronix kit that simply replaces the points. The instructions say to make
sure the coil has at least 3 ohms of resistance. We've tested the coil on the
car and it reads 1.5 ohms. The coil on the 244 parts car reads 2.2 ohms. I
have a stash of old TR coils; we've only tested one and it reads 3.8 ohms.
Is the coil on the 242 faulty? Is it just that the kit is not compatible
with that coil? Should I just fit the kit anyway?
