Today’s coils cannot be accurately checked with a VOM. Best way to check is to properly mount the coil and test for spark with the kill wire removed. No spark, bad coil.

Coil be if your unit has points. If it does I used the following readings. Good primary winding should be between 0-15 OHMS. Good secondary reading should be between 10,000-15,000 OHMS.
