good job. The OHM meter would have picked this up.
In 90% of the cases it does.
Correct me if I'm wrong but some say on the BC that the Delco'* are the best coils.

MSD'* perform flawlessly for most of us. They are the same spark voltage as the 97+ Supercharged AC Delco coils. If you do all 3, you should feel the difference with a smoother idle and slightly increased mid-range power.

Well...the new MSD coil fixed the problem. My car runs as smooth as ever now. It amazes me that one coil can cause that much grief! But at the same time, I'm grateful that was the only problem...a cheap fix! I owe it to you guys..thank you!!!
And here - thought I'd post a few pics of my friend working on my car. I did most of the work, mind you...but she is stronger than I am....so I needed a lil assistance!
