Except that the readings they are showing are not correct for our cars. The
A-series cars use internally-ballasted coils and should read about 3 oms
across the primary and the later 1500 cars use externally-ballasted coils
and should read about 1.5 ohms across the primary. Not sure the exact
changeover. Never checked the secondary...
