Same deal,measured 2 stock coils,41041B & 41039B
when measured between + and - terminals you get the low reading of primary winding.
when measured between + or - of primary to HT socket/post you get the secondary winding resistance.
in the the first case primary is 1.5...secondary is 9140 ohms
in the second case primary is 1.6...secondary is 8830 ohms
no reading from any other terminal to ground..however if on a points dizzy and points are closed you will get a reading from HT socket/cap to ground.
Something else worth consideration !...most coils were mounted on engine, either the head or block or valley cover...the reason being is that cast iron does not take to being magnetised as easily as soft iron and alloy even worse.
The core of the coil is a special iron that will not hold magnetism but can be easily magnetised, when trying to build a magnetic field in a coil the last thing you want is a mud guard or fire wall leaching off the system , although a lot of coils that are sold these days do mount in these places it may be they were designed to do so,,,shitty ol V6 como, where is the coil pack?
Have heard the odd story about guard mounted coils and problems but never able to confirm or deny the fault...was told about it so don't take it as gospel.
