Default Can an HEI Coil be Tested off the Car?

Just curious. Static, non-running test?

You can check the coils resistance, to determine whether you have an open or short somewhere. Did you have something else in mind?

No. Just what to make sure that when I drop the rebuilt distrib in that all is OK.

This is a link to the procedure online http://www.cybrrpartspro.com/Chilton...826CH02_4.HTML
This shows checking a coil on a gm van the ohm readings should be the same
it is about half way down the page I would have emailed it to you but I think your email is incomplete on your forum description.
