Theses readings would be really hopeful as I attempt to get these dinosaur putting again.

Waste of time unless you have a coil with a remote timing controller .
They have 2 or 3 small wires connecting to the coil
If it has a single wire then the only test you need to do is plug cap to laminations for continuity.
Pull the single kill wire off & crank. it will spark = good or not spark = bad
Kohler have their repair manuals available as a free download from their web page .

As Arnold said in kindergarten cop, thanks for the tip.
Actually has 3 wires. One from the condenser, another going to ground and one going to positive
