Tony,

On a 20K Ohm scale, I read 16.27 on my digital multi meter yesterday. On a 2K ohm scale, my meter indicated "1" - meaning no continuity. Sounds to me like my wire has 8 times more resistance than yours. What type of wires do you have?

Car never ran with Petronix, but did not run anymore before I installed it either.

I did pull distributor, but was VERY careful not to twist it to loose timing. I verified yesterday that distributor is indeed in correct position. I heared the petronix firing (sounds like "tack" in the distributor) when I turned the distributor around yesterday during the static ignition timing with ignition on.

Any more thoughts on coil wire resitance? Or recommendations for replacement? Should I stay with solid core (silicone) or go with copper strand?

Thanks,

Bert
