It's not the coil...............It is the magnetic pickup inside the distributor.....read on


From the MSD website:

"The magnetic pickup in MSD Distributors can also be checked with an Ohm meter to make sure it is within operating specifications. Once again, connect the Ohm meter's leads to the two terminals of the pickup. The resistance should be within 400 - 1,300 ohms. If the resistance is out of this specification, inspect the condition of the wires leading to the pickup for abrasion, shorting or opens. If the wiring is okay, the pickup is at fault."
NOTE: The Ignition will check good if the pickup is at fault (Scufty you did THIS)
