to measure- just put your voltmeter leads across the + and - terminals.

what electronic ignition have you purchased?

i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm talking out of my rear here, but-
i imagine that the the directions from the ignition mean your coil must have *at least* 1.5 ohms of primary resistance.
I ordered a Hot Spark electronic ignition kit. Everything fits under the Dist cap. On their website it says: "8-cylinder distributors require a coil with a minimum of 1.5 Ohms primary resistance or HS17HEC high-energy coil."

What do you think?
