<p>That is my method of testing coils. I usually take the
distributor out to install points and set them on the Sun
Machine. Probably 9 times out of 10, I end up rebuilding the
distributor. I quit buying rebuilt distributors, they are just
crap.... With Industrial engines, there are not many rebuilders
around... This is where my lather and mill pay off big time..<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. </div>

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. </div>
