I think it is finally time to put this thread to rest... WOW!
Wes, I did check the gas tank vent valve, and driving without the gas cap, neither of which made a difference. The part that did make a ... |

The good news is, I now have a spare cool and condenser, which I'm pretty happy about. Also, the radio frequency filter will never go bad, as my mechanic and I were able to build a nice eliminator tha ... |

I don't have much to update. I'm waiting for a new coil to come in and compare numbers, and of course performance, with what I currently have.

Wes, the cold and hot primary readings were 11.8 and 13.43 ohm.
