hmm I'll let my old coil today. Cause I'm getting like 12.3v to the coil. That would be my luck to get a dead on arrival coil

I tried doing the coil test again and my ground to coil. When ever I tap the wire I get a spark at the spot I'm touching. I have ground from spark plug threads to car and then a ground from car that I tap at coil. That's correct isn't it? Or do you tap the wire that's connected to spark plug?

you appear to be doing the test correctly. Did you test both the new and old coil?

i only tested the new coil because it just seemed like I must've been doing it wrong. I get a big spark/zap at the neg terminal when I touch it. But nothing from the spark plug. I don't know what to do now... might be time for a pro

If you got a spark at the -ve when you struck the earth wire, it must have voltage at that post.

At the risk of being flamed:

The spark plug is plugged into the end of a HT lead that is also plugged into the coil HT post????

Reading some more of the threads in your 2 posts.

With the ignition ON, and the coil wired as it is meant to be, there should be 12v ish at the neg and pos terminal of the coil.

My next suggestion is to take the DVM you have and set it on OHMS, disconnect the wires from the coil, all of them, and probe the +ve and -ve terminals. You are looking for approx 1.2 ohms for the OE 2 coil unit/s each. The newer single coil units should be around 0.9 ohms or less.

Is the 2nd coil connected, if so, unplug it, the V12 will run on one coil, just NOT above 3000rpm.

Now I will read the other post in total, and see what sticks out.

ha yeah plug wire in coil out and spark plug in wire
