Re: Engine breaking up or surging?? I'm confused

Thanks, y'all for your suggestions and places to check. So after testing the fuel pump and it checking out ok, I decided to test the ignition coil since it's easier to get to rather than the control module under the cap.

So I measured the ohms on the primary winding and got 1.2 at the lowest. The secondary winding was ok at 8k+. From the research I've done, the primary should be anywhere between 0 and 1.

So any recommendations on what coil I should get for a mostly stock 283?
I think I'm also going to pick up a control module just in case it's both
