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!
