Im a Idiot / Help needed electronic ign

heres a hint to test the coil in the distributor. the distributor has two wire coming out. get an analog volt meter. put the meter on the lowest AC setting. put the meter wires in to the dist wires, order does not matter. then spin the dist. the AC needle should move a little if the coil is working good. do note the needle will not move much just a little.
