    Testing an ignition coil

    Testing 1933 v8 ignition coil.
    Before I send my 1933 v8 ignition coil to have it rebuilt, I would like to test it first

    If they rebuild it why would you have to test it?

      Maybe it does not have to be rebuilt? Or do you think just the age of the thing warrants a rebuilding?

        The only way I test a coil is to drive it. Sometimes they don't act up until it's hot. Keep a spare in your shirt pocket

          The reason for rebuilding, is it won't fail if you do. New technology that is not suseptable to the heat of which Mitch speaks.

            Ok, I got it. Even if I tested it with a multimeter than is no realistic test under the stress of rapid firing under driving conditions. I will send it out to be rebuilt.
