| Post subject: | Continuity check of coil |
If I set my voltmeter to the continuity test setting, then check across the "+" and "-" posts on the coil, I get a tone. Should this be so? I would think that there should be no continuity between + and - on the coil. Am I right or wrong? Still trying to suss out the reason for the goofy electrical "issues" with the 225 /6 on the '66 Valiant. Thanks ye gurus. tomglander@netzero.net |

You will have continuity between the + and - terminals. They are the two ends of the same wire. You should have a high resistance between the + and - terminals and the center terminal. If not, it's shorted inside. Different coils will give different readings. Check the coil for bulges or leaking. That's a fairly common sign when they go bad, but they can look perfect and still fail. Quote:
