The resistance should be within 500 - 700 ohms. So, that's certainly a red flag Try shorting across the magnetic pickup wires (Violet and Green) with the coil wire about half inch from ground -- the wire connector for that is about six inches or so down from the bottom of the distributor cap. When you short them, you should see a nice spark.
