    OK..I worked on the coil last night. It is definitely dead as I get no readings at all from the SP wire to any one of the smaller wires. I DO get continuity when I measure between the two small wires.

    I will assume SP is the soldering point, I didn’t go back and read the whole thread…

    There are two primary wires coming out of this coil, right? If so, the primary may be isolated from the secondary. So there should be continuity (a few ohms) across the two primary wires, and there should be continuity (a few kilohm) across the two high tension terminals. But no continuity between a primary wire and a high tension lead.
