Sounds like you may be measuring secondary resistance. I think that will be in the range of 5,000 -- 7000-ohms.
Quote: I don't get it............on my multimeter at 20k setting I get over 8 ohms on one coil and 12 point something ohms on the other. How can that be?
You are trying to measure primary resistance, which should be about a 1/2 an ohm to maybe 3.0 ohms, on a scale that is for between 0 ohms and 20,000 ohms. To get an accurate reading use a much lower scale, like 200 ohm scale or 1k ohms scale. When using an ohms scale that ends in k, as in 20k, multiply your reading by 1,000.
Here is a pic measuring primary resistance on a front mount coil. I believe this pic belongs to Bruce (VA), seen mostly on the Ford 9N, 2N & 8N Board, If so, Thanks Bruce!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
