I removed my replacement leads, and grafted on a donor set removed from the 38-3 coil: I now have a resistance reading of 6ohms- down from 14, so I feel it is much closer to spec. However, I have just noticed a tendency of this particular (digital) multimeter to read 1 ohm when the multimeter test leads are connected together, unless "scrubbed" against each other a second, at which point it goes to 000 as it should for a direct connection between test leads. So, with this +1ohm deviation factored in, that brings the actual resistance to about 5 ohms, which is called for in the schematic.

I don't recal having to replace any other coil leads, but I am going to run a quick check of the other BC coils while I have the subchassis out HOPEfully for the last time this endeavor. I think if I have to take this subchassis out one more time, I am going to inatall quick disconnects!...

Comments?
Thanks!
