By the way...I was looking in my manual I am was curious about what it listed
under the ignition chapter:
Ignition Coil Resistence:
*Primary
   87-90..................1.34-1.55 ohms
   91 and later..........05-1.2 ohms

*Secondary
   Prestolite Coil.......9,400-11,700 ohms
   Essex Coil............9,000-12,500 ohms
   Diamond Coil
       87-90..............15,000-19,000 ohms
       91...................15,000-19,000 ohms
       92 and later.....11,300-15,300 ohms
   Toyodenso Coil
       92 and later....11,300-13,000

What does it mean or what is the difference between primary and secondary?
What kind of coil would I have in my 93 Dakota V6 4x4 or how would I find this
out, since there is a choice of 4? I am just trying to figure this whole coil
language/terminology out before I buy an aftermarket coil! THANKS ALOT!!!!
