Does anyone know the correct resistance for the coil in a 1988 RRC?
I'd like to check mine with my multimeter.
Thanks!

Super helpful thanks. I was able to confirm my coil resistance is within spec (primary and secondary) and eventually traced the problem to a poor connection at the coil. New connectors and she's good to go.
One thing I noticed when working on the truck is that it is very sensitive to running with the air-filter canister removed. After multiple startups with the filter can removed (for easier coil access) it started to run noticeably rough. Eventually the EFI light came on. Once I reinstalled the can it ran smoothly again. And by disconnecting the battery the EFI light went out too.
Yes it actually appears to be running a 30 year old Bosch coil but I picked up a proper Lucas as a spare.

I don’t have the figures with me but when I checked them they were nearly identical.

I'm also looking at changing to an aftermarket rotor in the distributor. Maybe just a full aftermarket ignition system. It seems like Lucas has outsourced their manufacturing to a new company, and the rotors are now arcing all over the place, right out of the box. 10 new Lucas rotors bought as a batch, every one of them with the same problem...
Same problem with blue-box versions.
Powerspark is great if you want to stay with a distributor.

Ive been looking at Megasquirt, looks like it could be a great system but the website is terrible. Like some rambling blog from the 80s. Hard to figure out what you get and how it all works.
