To determine what coil you have and if it needs a resistor, disconnect one or both primary coil terminals (the + and - studs on top).
Set the knob on the meter to X10 ohms. You will be reading the top scale. Touching the leads together should swing the needle to the 0 on the right. If not the battery may be low or there may be an adjustment.
Touch the leads to the coil terminals. Wiggle them around to get a good steady reading.
A true 12v coil, one that does not need a resistor, will show about 3 ohms resistance.
A 6v coil OR a 12v that is designed to operate with a resistor will show about 1.5 ohms.
End result, for a 12v system, you want either a 3 ohm coil and no resistor, or a 1.5 ohm coil used with a 1.5 ohm resistor in series ahead of the coil on the incoming voltage from the switch.
Simply testing voltage before and after the coil will not give you an answer.

Today's Featured Article - Measuring with Calipers - by Staff. The legs of inside calipers are curved outward at the extremities to facilitate measuring small holes, while outside caliper legs have a large curve inward to increase their capacity for large work. Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
