Initial timing

So back at it, finished eddy carb kit. While carb is off I checked coil. Primary 1.4k and 2ndary 8.49k.
No number on coil, just "015".
MP coil 0.8K primary, 2ndary 4.39k. The MP appear to be in spec, but the no name is roughly twice the resistance??

Nice. Have you run it with the new coil yet? You know it doesn't matter what level/yrs you are at...it's the simplest thing sometimes the other day my wife asked me to go over the Volvo make, sure it had a oil and all that kind of stuff... well being that it has 330,000 miles on it... it was down a quart and a half or so.. never any oil light though and I know it works. Also had a rough idle... well the plug wires are new... plugs are new too. This Volvo mounts the coil high up on the fender by the firewall and runs a long coil wire 'suspended' between some ac lines and brake lines. Not touching a thing... but the wire didn't care, a solid arch jumped 1/2 inch to a brake line...duh..
I electrical tape wrapped x2 and slipped a slit rubber hose over it. Smooth idle.
I'm not saying that your coil is the fix per se maybe it is maybe it's just a part of a few failures that contribute combined detriment to its running right.
