Then move red lead to points side of the coil. What is the meter reading now?

2.0 ohms and then 1.4 ohms

I did pick up a different resistor today (#ECH ICR23) from NAPA that says it has 1.2 ohms of resistance, but when I measure it I get 1.6 ohms. I haven't tested it yet to see if it gives a little more voltage.
