<div dir="auto">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.
<div dir="auto">Of course that might be a difference between regular and sport coils.</div>

<div>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?</div>
