Primary winding.
Resistance 16°C = .662 ohms
Impedance = 2.75 ohms
Inductance = .0084 henry.

Secondary winding.
Resistance 16°C = 2705 ohms
Impedance = 9320 ohms
Inductance = 28.0 henries.

When run in conjunction with our standard distributor at 700 rpm (make ratio .5) the coil successfully underwent an open circuit test at 12v for 5 mins the running current being 1.38 amperes. Also the coil functioned perfectly at 8 volts no misfiring being observed on 6.5 mm gaps the running current at 8v being 1.05 amps.
