I was informed by the MSD tech that the OHM test is just a guideline and that it doesnt actually tell you if the pickup is bad. I know it worked on the first one that went bad, but i havent even tested the second one because i know its bad. I had the car running with a mallory before i installed the MSD and i have spark coming out of the coil wire when i short the green and violet wires on the box together, so it must be the pick up. I hope there isnt something wrong with the box that is frying the pickups.
