ignition coil questions

When I was in Navy electronics as a young man, THAT is what we had, along with a "PSM-4" which in my opinion was a much better meter.

I know I'm digging up an old thread here, doing my research late on a Saturday night. :)
Just so you know, we still have a couple Simpson 260's and a newer 280 in our work center, they still have their place in modern Naval aviation....you just can't replace that needle!!
