Hi,

 I want to bench test my coil but I can't locate the resistance specs. I have a 1957 292 I'm suspecting the coil is toast but I need some numbers. If anyone can point me in the right direction to search this info it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mario

I'm thinking that if the coil is failed it will have either a direct ground to the case - no resistance - or be open, infinite resistance.

Otherwise, one of the oldies would have something over 3 OHMs across the primary. A lot of older "performance" coils were 1.50 OHMs
