Point Ignition Coil Check OHMS?

Could also be just a bad ballast resistor-can only test by replacing it. And yes a high end dedicated ohm meter can find low ohm problems (I use a Vacuum tube HP with the four wire system) but is not worth most peoples money for some thing you would us once in a life time. But If you have a friend that has one it is time to go over and ask him for some help.
