[SEL] Maytag 92 Coil

[FRM8198 at aol.com]

Paul, 
Here is quick way to check the ignition system on a Maytag Model  92.
 
Open the points.
Make sure the spark plug end of the high  tension lead is about 3/16" from 
the block. The spark plug may be used if  grounded to the block.
Momentarily apply 9 volts (battery) across the  points.
A good coil and condenser will give a  blue spark. 
 
The primary coil resistance is about 2.2 ohms. The secondary (high  
tension) coil resistance is about 9500 ohms using the same ground point as the  
primary side. These resistance readings are not absolute and vary slightly from 
 coil to coil.

I'm  working on restoring a model 92 maytag engine. I was wondering if
anyone  knew the resistance I should expect on a multimeter?
