^ that first resistance spec. (called primary I think) (not that the Chilton is wrong) is almost certainly going to be different when you test the coil. Seems it's always higher on Civic and Integra coils (maybe others) but as long as it's below 2ohms for the primary and as long as the secondary (between A and the coil tower) is within those specs. that Line7 gave you, the coil is working.

You should clean off any contact points including rotor and then blow it out of the cap (w/ your breath, compressed air, or just a large soft brush) so it's clean inside, including the tunnel that the coil tower goes into.
