Set an ohmmeter in the x100 scale. Turn ignition switch OFF". Disconnect connector between ignitor and distributor. See Fig 1.

Fig 1: Ohmmeter Hookup For Pick-Up Coil Resistance Check. Replace Pick-Up Coil And Bearing Plate Assembly If Reading Is Not 600-700 Ohms.
Connect ohmmeter leads to leading terminals and then to trailing terminals. Resistance should be 600-700 ohms at 68° F 20° C) for each set of pick-up coils. If not, replace pick-up coil and bearing assembly.
