Change out the pickup, set the airgap, refit the rotor and cap, and fire her up.
I just went out and did the measurements again
The new one is a very steady .59 K ohms, this would equal 590 ohms
The old one is erratic, any where from .59-.72 M ohms which converts to 59000 ohms.

So as you say, scrap the old one for sure
I really don't care for the auto feature on the multimeter. The little M or K is hard to read...sorry for any confusion
