POSSIBLE RESOLUTION, but won't know till Wednesday.

I took my distributor apart piece by piece to clean and look for bad connections. While the coil was out, I decided to test it again... and even though it tested fine earlier, it is testing horribly now.

Primary Resistance - 1.0 - 1.1 ohms ... about 10% higher than spec
Secondary Resistance - 7000 - 8000 ohms ... more than 50% lower than spec.

Also: I read a very interesting article that claimed the actual ohm values are not what are important, but the ration between them. On a "spec coil", the ratio would be ~16,000 (13,000 / .8) and on my coil the ratio is less than 8000 (8000/1.1). Very interesting stuff.

Hopefully I will have good news when the parts come Wednesday.
