50 coupe Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Hey guys. I searched but not sure I Understand. To check coil voltage with multimeter, POS lead to POS coil (dist lead), ground lead to neg batt. Terminal. Car not running and points closed. I show 6.2 volts. Is this a correct procedure? Thanks.

If this process is incorrect, no need to spell out the correct procedure, I will find it but just want to know if what I was doing was off track or not.Thanks Edited March 7, 2016 by 50 coupe Quote
mopar_earl Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Sounds like good voltage to the coil to me. I'd test it this way. I'd remove the negative wire from coil and put your neg lead to the wire. Put your POS lead to POS battery post. Turn key on and read voltage. If car is still pos ground, keyed power will be the negative side of coil. Earl Quote
