After removing the heater I tried to start the TR and while it turned over it would not start. While replacing the bolt thru the firewall that held a heater support bracket my “helper” must have brought the wrench into contact with a battery terminal and caused a short. It caused the 3-4 fuse to blow. I replaced the fuse and thought my problem was solved. Not so. That fuse is on the side with the ignition switch and coil. Since it turns over the ignition switch must be ok. After reading some prior posts I tested the coil and from the + post to the - post it reads 3.4 ohms and the HT to + post reads 8770 ohms. From what I’ve read those readings indicate the coil is properly functioning. The coil was installed in about 2010 when I switched to a Pertronix system. It was also changed to negative ground at that time. When I checked the spark with a spark plug tester both from the plug and from the coil HT the spark is more orange than blue which I understand it should be. I also tested a never used coil I purchased at about the time the Pertronix was installed and it tested about 3.1 and 7660 ohms. When I installed it I got the same orangish spark. Do I need a new coil or is there something I’m missing? Any help is appreciated.
