Sounds like you may be measuring secondary resistance. I think that will be in the range of 5,000 -- 7000-ohms.
Quote: I don't get it............on my multimeter at 20k setting I get over 8 ohms on one coil and 12 point something ohms on the other. How can that be?
You are trying to measure primary resistance, which should be about a 1/2 an ohm to maybe 3.0 ohms, on a scale that is for between 0 ohms and 20,000 ohms. To get an accurate reading use a much lower scale, like 200 ohm scale or 1k ohms scale. When using an ohms scale that ends in k, as in 20k, multiply your reading by 1,000.
Here is a pic measuring primary resistance on a front mount coil. I believe this pic belongs to Bruce (VA), seen mostly on the Ford 9N, 2N & 8N Board, If so, Thanks Bruce!

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
