Re: Measuring Resistance in Spark Coil Assembly

To clarify - my objective is to confirm that the installation of the plug cap onto the new ignition coil wire has been made correctly and that the current from the coil can in fact reach the plug. I should probably have said "continuity check" not resistance, although one could argue that ...

Here is my situation, and I would appreciate any succinct comments and input to assist in the decision making ...
