Two questions on a Farmall H Magneto

Previous owner took the magneto and original condenser out of the circuit and installed a external condenser and a 12 volt coil.
I checked the original condenser with my multimeter. I set it to ohms and touched the red lead to the end where the coil primary wire and points wire connect at the condenser and the black lead to the condenser body for a few seconds.
Then I switched the multimeter to 20 volts, connecting the leads the same way I did before I got 5.4 volts and the volts started coming down all the way to 0 volts.
According to the information I read the condenser is good.
Then I moved over to the magneto coil.
I set my multimeter to 20K connected red lead to the the terminal that feeds the coil wire and black lead to the wire that hooks up to the condenser.
I got a reading of 11.50 Which tells me the secondary circuit is good.
Now here is the first question:
When I checked the primary circuit. I set multimeter to 2k.
Touched the red lead to the wire that connects to the condenser and black lead to the coil ground tab.
I got a reading that started at 1.4 ohm but dropped of to 0 in two seconds or so.
First question:
An old guy in a video said that a reading like this indicates a good primary circuit... Does it indicate a good reading?
I found this video on how to correctly time a magneto, But it's for a cub.

Second Question:
Can I time my 1949 H Magneto in the same manner that was used on the cub?
...Thanks...

The low voltage testing of mag or ignition parts with a meter is an indicator of acceptable, but 20 thousand volts can make a lye out of the results. Were it
mine I would get a manual for it (or a good Utube for the mag you have and a manual) and put it together and try it. It will make full s[ark on the bench. If it
was my tractor it would be changed to a point and coil distributor for operating smoothness and economy at part throttle operation. Distributors have advance
curves that time the engine better. Jim

Thanks Jim...
I just got back from the ranch. I had to get back a bit early on this trip.
If you remember, my other post on the broken ear that plunged the idle jet.
The dental pick did the trick, I poked it in the jet and it unplugged it real easy.
After I got done with the carburetor, I pulled all the plugs and cleaned them and moved on to the magneto.
I rechecked the coil and condenser and point gap.( Note: Coil Secondary Circuit reading 11,850 ohms)
Put the magneto all back together and Bench tested it.
Put a plug wire on the coil terminal but a spark plug on the wire,
grounded the plug and magneto with a pair of jumper wires and turned it by hand.
If fired every time the igniter snapped just as it should.
Put it back on the H and crossed my fingers and hit the starter, It did not turn half a round the old H fired on all 4 cylinders.
A funny thing happened though, In my haste to find out if the magneto would fire, I forgot to give the old girl any throttle & forgot the choke also.
She had been sitting in the shed for a week. She fired and sat peering like a kitten at a very low idle.
(I smiled and said to myself you really like the mag don't you)...
Note: Since I got this tractor two years ago it had never fired that quick but it did have a plugged idle jet though)
I tried to set the timing the way the video I found showed but could not.
The H has three timing marks on the pulley one by itself and a quarter turn from it are two more that are about five degrees apart. When you align the the first mark on compression stroke on # 1 piston to the timing pointer the pig ears on the magneto gear are in 12 & 6 position and when you align the the first
of the two marks to the pointer the pig ears on the magneto gear are in the 3 & 9 position.
The video shows the pig ears at the 2 & 8 position.
I'll mark the magneto where it's sitting right now and adjust it my ear and fine tune the carburetor when I go back this coming week... Well I'm good to go now...
Thanks again to you and everyone that helped me out on all my posts...RaNeR...

The first (lone) mark is for greasing the pilot bearing in the flywheel when aligned. The second is advance when running, the last is TDC. which is where the
mag should fire. Jim

Ok... Jim Thanks... Now I know what all the marks mean and what there for...
