73 valiant no spark from coil
This is the meter I have it's a innova 3306 here's a link to the image of it

Closest destructions I could find are a 3300:

and the photo is so small, difficult to read, but some WARNINGS
The manual states "The DC 10 AMP range is not fused. Do not take longer than 15 seconds to take reading Wait 15 minutes between each reading"
What the above means, is if you are using the 10 amp current scale (left two probe jacks) that there is NO protection to the meter, and it is VERY "skimpy" built and will not truly handle that current. Be very careful taking current measurements
What you will be using most (right hand two probe jacks) is the top left YELLOW area which is DC volts. I cannot read, looks like 500? volts is max. "200m" means 200 millivolts or .2 (two tenths) of one volt
It appears there are only 2 AC volt scales, "reddish brown" at upper right. This is a very poor meter, but will likely get you by for automotive
Bottom left, the WHITE numbers, are continuity, resistance, ohms. Probably much of what you will check in automotive will be 200 ohms max. Lowest resistance, like switches, a good closed switch should read close to zero ohms, the lower the better. Something like 20K (20,000 ohms) or 200K might be used for things like checking plug wires.
The "arrow" symbol is a special position for checking diodes.
Don't use the "battery" positions unless checking 9V or 1.5V batteries.
So for tests we are discussing here use the YELLOW setting for the most part "20" which means the meter will display a max of 20V DC
Make these tests: Meter set in YELLOW, DCV on "20"
1............Turn the key to "run" and ground one meter probe. Probe around on your ballast resistor for the HIGHEST reading, which should be the two connectors which are looped together (You do have a 4 pin resistor is that right?) Post that reading
2............Clip the meter on ground, and to coil + Prop up the meter and crank the engine USING THE KEY. Read while engine is cranking. Post the reading.
