Engine start up, Problem 3: Weak Starter Options

[OU8AVW]

I'm working through starting my freshly rebuilt 2056. It has the original D-Jet and is a 1975 motor. At first I had no fuel pump, I fixed that.

Now there is no spark from the coil. I traced the lead from #8 on the fuse box to the relay board then out the relay board. I have 12.4v at the coil positive but no spark. I'm testing it with a light-type tester. No bueno.... It is a Bosch coil, i believe it is a "blue" coil.

I read here that there should be 1.5 ohms resistance between the two poles on the coil with everything dissconnected. This one tests at 7.4 ohms. A spare coil I had had similar results with no spark at crank and 4.6 ohms resistance.

I assume i need a new coil......
Right?

First, make ABSOLUTELY sure you have the fuel ring set up properly. Fuel enters the ring on the right side injector rail, move across the top of the engine, pass through the left rail and into the fuel pressure regulator. From there it exits the engine via a long hose above the bell housing area and joins the return line at the "Y" next to the pump. If you mix up the lines near the battery, you'll never get fuel pressure. Next, cycle the key for 2 seconds about 10-15 times. That'll fill the lines and build up pressure to specs.
