How 'bout just swapping in another coil as a test?
(also, what resistance setting did you have the multimeter on?)
Swapping out is the way to go to test a coil.
I was unable to get my engine to run after 2 weeks and had to resort to the local Healey mechanic.
He solved the problem by replacing my brand new coil with one he pulled out of the trash (for $35, but it worked).
See the coil on the left in the photos.
FYI Note:
- The LUCAS DLB-101 Coil on the right has no logo and came in a plain box.
I won't ever buy this one again.
- The gold coil is a LUCAS Sports Coil but has a very sketchy logo but came in a green and white box with LUCAS branding ?????
- The one on the left that's covered with oil and grease is a working Coil and has the LUCAS logo and "MADE IN ENGLAND" on it.
