Secondary resistance should be 3.0 to 4.5 kilohms. The coil should fire at 1.5 amps on a coil tester. These coils, like most old outboard coils, are actually two coils in one… the primary and the secondary. Usually, one wire from each is tied together, leaving three wires coming out. This coil doesn’t have two tied together, so there is a separate ground for the primary and the secondary.
