Re: re-school me on timing

all 12v coils are resisted down to 6-7 volts, normal, some are done with an external resistor or a wire that has resistance or internal resisted coil. Make sure the points are open when you check that wire. Take out #1 plug turn the engine over till you feel compression building in the hole, then start to look at the timing mark and damper mark, if right they should come to tdc as the piston moves, up if not, take off the the dist cap and note the rotor position, probably 180 off from tdc #1.
