" 1979 TSM says resistance wire is 1.35+-.05 ohms. With the key on there should be
" 6+-.5 volts at the green wire on the coil. When you turn the key to start this
" should move to battery (12+-) voltage. 

what makes this confusing is that this is duraspark -II-.  the briefly
used duraspark -I- ['76? '75?] did -not- have an external coil
resistance.  the modules are very similar; i can't tell if they're
actually the same or not.
