    My experience is similar to what Mumbles is seeing.

    Measured with all of the ignition wiring intact I’m getting .6 ohm with the points closed and 1.4 ohm with them open. The .6 is likely wiring resistance in the meter leads.

    There is a very clear change in readings when the points open.

    I’m using a fairly inexpensive Radio Shack digital VOM. (volt, ohm, milliamp)
