This is the coil that was on it - which was an aftermarket one that originally came with the Ultima. I tested Ohms on it and it tested fine |

o.k. have you pulled the right plug wire off the coil to check the strange burnt/melted looking area there?

The bad news is - is I did notice several inconsistencies with the wiring. So I figured I'll work on the wiring this winter, and then this spring - it ought to be good to go!

Nothing bad about that. It’ll give you a chance to get to know it better.
