===Coil=== [http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/testing-hei-coil-module-103662.html#post727460 Coil test procedure] written by docvette Find part numbers from the Wells parts catalog PDF above. '''[http://www.wellsmfgcorp.com/ds_coils.php?coil=c834&submit=Submit Wells coil specs info]'''. *Remove and invert the cap. *Measure between the TACH and BATT terminals, using a DVOM, set to OHMS scale, RX1 and calibrated to 000Ω. *It should read less than 1Ω, but more than 000Ω. If not it's bad. Next measure the secondary side of the coil: *Set your DVOM scale to RX10K or higher. *Put the probes between the Ground terminal of the coil and the carbon pickup inside the distributor cap. It should read between 6000Ω and 30,000Ω. Outside of that range toss the coil and get a new one. Test carbon pickup between carbon end and spring end - resistance will be 4000- 6000 ohms [[File:HEI cap.jpg]] <br style="clear:both"/>
