Voltage to coil

Wait a minute----You have a 2 or 4 terminal resistor?

What kind of ignition system we working with here?

What is the difference between the 2 and 4 terminal resistor? I'm pretty sure i have a 4 terminal resistor on a electronic ignition distributor with an orange ignition box. Is that not correct? Not trying to hack the tread, I'm in the same boat, just trying to find out if I have a faulty coil.
