I started up my 1969 350/300 a couple of weeks ago. It started and ran fine. I drove it around the neighborhood and about a half mile from the house it started to buck and seemed to want to stall. I nursed it home and it died in the driveway. I went out today and it won't start. It's getting fuel so I tested the coil. Resistance on the secondary circuit is within range, but the primary circuit tested at around 2 ohms. It's supposed to be between 0.35 and 0.55. It is a little cool out, but not real cold, about 65 degrees, maybe a couple of degrees cooler in the garage. Manual says to test resistance at 72 degrees. The difference doesn't seem big enough to matter.
Would this much excess resistance keep it from starting? I seem to remember that when it started to stall it ran better when I accelerated but can't be sure. Thanks very much.
