Did you know off any wires on the coil?

i suspected the coil and when i checked it it was sitting at 9.35k ohms. the wires on the coil seemed to be fine. i asked him if it just died and thats when he decided to get a tune up. but he said that it was running funny. all the wires altough stiff were in ok condition. and werent brokedn

it looks to be the original coil aswell

i got the spark figured out. it was the coil. i changed the points at the same time just for good mesure. now i think the valves need adjusting, because its puffing out a white exhaust out of the intake side manifold where the injectors are.
