Mk2 Granada ignition coil

[bigdaz]

the autochoke not working seams to have been hiding a misfire everything electrical is new except the coil, looking on line I think it should be a Lucas dlb125 does anyone know what the primary and secondary resistance should be ?

[bigdaz]

It's a dlb248 not dlb125

TECHNICAL DATA

Primary resistance - 0,75 to 0,85 ohms
Secondary resistance - 5000 to 6000 ohms


That's all it says in the factory manual if it helps ?

[bigdaz]

Yes that helps a lot I'm getting 2.8ohms and 8.9ohms so looks knackered to me,
Where did you get your manual ?

[bortaf]

If a PDF of the factory cortina manual i scanned in years ago, took that from the Mk5 section (Mk5 V6s had leccy ign same as the grannys)

[bigdaz]

Oh I see, new coil fitted and I've advanced the timing a little so time will tell if it's better, the spark plugs are very white tho ? Not running lean tho

If you are now running unleaded the advanced timing might cause issues come MOT time .
