it is not a multi meter. i can post a pic if you like, but i thought ohm's meters were ohm's meters , so it should not make a difference. it is a multi diagnostic engine analyzer for a car. about 30 years old. checks, dwell, tach, volts, ohm's,amps. i think that is everything. i can...- fsnerd

old coil gives the same zero reading on the + and - terminals. it was stalling on the old coil too, i suppose they could both be bad. anyway to test the meter? does anything else have a known resistance of 4 - 8 ohms?- fsnerd

just tested the coil. + and tower 9,000 ground to +, - and tower no reading. + to - zero. meaning, i have a dial type ohm meter. needle starts at 500,000 and goes to zero. i have less then 4 ohms. does this mean i have a defective coil? I am going to test the old coil to...- fsnerd

here is the exhaust leak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UriS-6rMozw any suggestions on an easy fix? i really think if i touch anything, it is going to break. anyone know of a cement like repair compound, that works? i have the cutting torches and an air wrench, so removal would be easy...- fsnerd

Richard Palmer (Rpalmer) yes, i could just fix the exhaust leak, but i thought i had a problem with the timing . I did not expect to see the timing light skip like that. I do not see the exhaust leak as an easy fix, it is probably the original exhaust so i will probably be better off...- fsnerd

Ryan D Wilke (Rwilke) slow down a little. i know how to use an ohm meter, and i have one, but what is the difference between primary and secondary windings? ohm meter to positive and negative terminals, and ohm meter to high voltage terminal and ground? coil has not been tested .- fsnerd

Wayne Shytle (Wshytle) i do not have another coil. well, not really. the one it came with, the last owner broke one of the terminal studs and just soldered the wire to it, sort of. one of those repairs that works, until you touch it. or hit a bump. i will have to check to see if i can get it...- fsnerd

Paul Bell (Pbell)- it would be a waste of everybody's time for me to argue the in line filter issue. while i disagree with you and everybody else, i will remove the filter and keep it off until this problem is resolved. that way, we can cross at least one possible cause off the list.- fsnerd

Allen Schumacher (Aschumacher) - movable part of the point is free. timing light was about 100.00, forget model. but i would say it is at the higher end of the scale. engine sounds. forgot to mention i noticed the same thing. erratic points or timing light should cause erratic engine R's...- fsnerd

here are the videos of the timing light, aimed at the wall, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V94cFHAALXo and the points. total darkness, all you see is the spark from the points. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5opovyF_evY the pauses that you see in both videos are the way they look in...- fsnerd

in trying to find info on line to support my mechanic friend's claim, i found this, http://www.teamrsm.com/files/Ethanol_dos_and_donts.pdf which does not say the oil companies are adding water, but does discuss the ethanol absorbing water and the water and ethanol destroying stored engines.- fsnerd

spoke to the retired dodge mechanic that started the bad gas discussion, here is what he said, they are adding water and alcohol to regular gasoline to meet EPA requirements. the alcohol bonds to the gas, water bonds to the alcohol. bonding meaning the water will not separate like free water...- fsnerd
