Just wandering, what kind of resistance should I be measuring on the leads using a multimeter. Also, whereabouts is the timing mark and plate, couldn't find it for the life of me,

Cheers.

High tension lead resistance limit is: leads 1,3 and 5.....10 k/ohms.
leads 2, 4 and 6.....27 k/ohms or 17 k/ohms for supercharged.
There is no timing mark the ECU adjusts the timing.

The resistance 4 leads 1,3,5 should b between 1-3 ohms and 2,4,6 should b between 4-6 ohms

wow, those resistances are higher than I thought. As for the marks, makes sense seeing as it has no distributor.

Thanks for the quick reply accentstencil :)

I got mine from the Gregory's manual so I can only assume it's correct.
Edit: I just checked my new Holden service CD and it says the same, 1,3,5 less than 10,000 ohms 2,4,6 less than 27,000 ohms
