This question got buried in my previous post about servicing an ignition switch, so now I need some advice on testing the power supply to the coil. Thanks to one of our members, I got a NOS ignition switch. Now, my plan is to test for voltage drop in the ignition circuit. The plan is to: disconnect the coil to distributor wire, connect my remote start switch to the distributor terminal on the coil, which should equal the points being closed, connect a voltmeter to the ignition terminal on the coil, push the button on the remote switch for the time it takes to get a volt reading. As I understand it, I should get about 3 volts? Depending on the reading, I'll work my way back through the connectors, and resistor, to the ignition switch, each time activating the remote switch to load the circuit. Does all this make sense, or is there an easier/better way? The car is a late year '46 build, with the resistor up under the dash and a stock "Skip" coil.
