The old coil was definitely not the right one, had an external ignitor on it and the ignition module on the distributor had been hacked open and hotwired into the ignitor to bypass it. That's why I went and replace everything back to factory to try and find out why it wouldn't start. Before replacing everything I wasn't getting any spark at all. Now I'm getting very weak spark, so been wondering if maybe the coil has too high of a resistance at 3ohms. I see in the FSM for a 2.8L with electronic distributor they say to use a 0.84 to 1.2ohm coil
