High Voltage Coil for 16v

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Based on the testing info in the Bentley, 16v ignition systems are supposed 
to have high output coils.  The resistance across the secondary winding in 
an 8v coil should be around 3500 ohms.  On a 16v, its supposed to be 
6500-8500 ohms.  I ordered a new coil from Potter and guess what?  They're 
all the same now (3500-4000 ohms).  I'm thinking I might just have to go 
with an aftermarket coil even though traditional thought is that there is 
no reason to mess with the stock system.

Thoughts?
