With the engine running I measure 11 volts from the positive terminal on coil to engine ground. With the key in run and coil wire disconnected from the positive terminal I measure 11.6 volts to engine ground. The coil that has been in the car for years boiled and the fan blew oil all over the place. Replaced coil with a 1.5 ohm Flamethrower and engine runs but wonder why I don't have somewhere around 8 volts to coil. Removed fuse F4 and measured the resistance on wire 16 through tach and resistor wire to disconnected coil wire and get 2.6 ohms. Has anybody else ever measured this? Does this seem like the correct resistance?
