[Healeys] Lucas Sports Coil

[josef-eckert at t-online.de]

Then my answer is wrong. Here I am thinking "not" imperial.
Some (stupid) people may not know. To make it clear. Ohm is a SI-Unit. 
Georg Simon Ohm was a German Physicist. ;-)

I would never deem to use anything but Imperial Ohms.�

    Regarding the coil resistance
    I pulled out my Fluke meter and got exactly the same results....  these
    are B12 coils used on the early BN1 and many other cars including the
    Jaguar XK120.

    Turns out that primary resistance between 4.2 and 4.6 is actually
    correct for these, unlike the later styles.

      Well that's really weird because the one on my car reads 4.6 and
      works fine ... has for ages ... I think I might have to check my
      ohmmeter �

        Primary resistance of 2.7 to 3.3 Ohms is right. It doesn´t matter
        if its an ordinary or a so called Sports Coil. When its 4.5 to 5.5
        Ohms the coil is gone. You can bin it.

        2.8 seems low to me Michael. I have some original early 100 coils
        that I'm just cleaning up to put on Ebay and they show readings of
        around 4.5 - 5.5. 
        Of course that might be a difference between regular and sport
        coils.

          I have a period Lucas Sports Coil type SA-12 for my BN2.  I have
          not tried it yet.  Can anyone give me the specs on it?  I get a
          reading on my VOM of 2.8 ohms between the two outer connections
          and 9,400 ohms for the center to one outer connection.  Is this
          coil weak or is this correct?
