"If the coil measured out of spec, it may very well be bad. The question is, where was stuff measured? If you're not able to measure directly on the coil, your readings may have been influenced by poor wiring."

Agreed - but I also think just hooging up the isolated coil to a $9.95 ohmage meter will give numbers that may be misleading.....he didn't say how he measured the coil though...I just think a few ohms between friends on a coil doesn't make a bad relationship...now if he got open or short on primary or secondary (or between the two!!) then we got problems.
