Can you measure the resistance on side prongs?
I bought couple of coils on ebay and they show open circuit, what means bad wires.
I can replace condenser, but not the coil.

I sold all the good coils I had and just got in another small batch but haven't had time to go thru them yet

Another give away for the coil is whether the slide off side has two small nails to hold it in place or a staple.

The ones with the nails have Ford at the top or perhaps if older, in the center of the other side.

I have found coils that make sparks on the Hand Crank Coil Tester with no sparks showing on the StroboSpark Coil Tester.

They always seem to be the ones with the staples and measuring the secondary winding with an ohm meter will show about 2,8000 Ohms or a little less, and they will work in a Model T Coil Box, with a little less hot spark value..

The ones marked Ford all seem to be right at the 3,300 Ohms that appear to be correct and they will always produce the 2,500 Volts that the StroboSpark has to read to light the three bars.
