Ignition Coil Test
Past few days have been pretty busy, but I found time to fiddle today. I thought it would be a good idea to check the Ignition Coil to see if it is any good. I pulled it out and put a meter on it and came up with the following values:
1. Primary Resistance = 1.3 Ohms
2. Secondary Resistance = 7.6K Ohms
I can't find a part number on the coil, but it seems pretty old. I found specs on-line for similar coil and it states that the acceptable ranges are:
1. Primary = 1.0 - 1.7
2. Secondary = 7.5k - 14k
I fall within these ranges but on the lower side. Should I go ahead and get a new Coil? Keep in mind I only want to be able to start the engine to make sure there are no major issues. I plan on pulling the engine and upgrading to HEI in the future.
Any suggestions?
