No spark from the coil, can anyone tell me what the resistance reading is supposed to be across the coil? Getting fuel, holding spark plug against the exhaust manifold- no spark. 12v going into the coil, want to verify bad coil before I pay over $100 for one. Thanks for the help.

Follow up to my first post--on some advice here on the forum, I checked the crank position sensor resistence values. It shows an open. Just to be sure, I checked my 87 560 SEL and it checked 970 Ohms, what the book said it was supposed to. SOO, we ordered a crank position sensor and a distributor cap at 154.00 and change. We'll see when the parts get here, stay tuned....
