Checking the coil and dwell?
Hello, I just recently got a 1956 F100 and the motor cranks over, there in 12v getting to the coil and points but I get no spark. I checked the dwell with a tach/dwell meter and it says 35. It's been a long time since auto shop and I do not remember if there is a way to test the coil. I remember something about checking the resistance of the primary and secondary of the coil but
forget what a good reading is. Anyone have some advise? Thanks!
Oh yeah check out the page I made to show off the truck:

It's not much to look at right now but it will be nice when I'm done.
