I don't follow you on this.
from classes a lot of years ago, I recall that lot of windings (i.e., length) of small wire would give higher resistance than a few windings of large wire. The voltage output is the ratio of the secondary coil windings to primary coil windings. The 12V + and - connections on the coil are for the primary windings (small number of windings of larger wire) and the secondary windings (large number of windings of smaller wire) are between ground and the wire to the dist.

Hi Guy's. The measured coil resistance comes from the length of wire used
in the secondary windings, this is thinner wire with lots of turns. So that
is why the readings are lower. A coils electrical impedance both inductive
and capacitive is matched to the source that is driving it. Either the
points as in an old style or a Capacitor in the new electronic ones. So the
coils resistance is a non issue other than to tell you if it is shorted. I
would as a matter of choice us only the coil the manufacturer recommends as
they where designed to match each other. Pat Orlando 1972 Yellow Pantera S/N
