[Spridgets] how to use an ohm meter to test an ignition coil?

Or, if the reading is too far out to lunch, it could mean that the coil 
works for a while and then dies because it is not expecting the voltage it 
is actually seeing. It is possible that she has an Alfa coil in there and it 
is overheating because it is the wrong impedance for the application. I did 
not say it was likely...
