I would like to try and delve into the wide knowledge and expertise of the members within ATIS.
<br>Is there any acceptable method of determining if an ignition coil is good short of installing it on a running engine. Our 1949 AC G would not start a few days ago after being parked for a short period of time. A quick observation determined the contact points were beyond use. I went to the local auto parts store and was advised I probably should replace both the points and of the condenser because they felt like that condenser went first and it caused the points to burn up. With this information I also purchased a new coil even though I wondered if the coil was a bad.

Bottom line; Is there any way to bench test a coil? We have several used coils laying around here of questionable viability. I would like to pitch them if they aren't any good.
<br>I appreciate anything you can tell me.
