Mike - the 10.71 in the secondary is 10.71 kOhms which is in the normal range.

I am a little confused by Dave’s suggestion that “ Only after confirming the spark from the coil and still no spark to the plugs would it be time to look at the igniter itself. The trigger in the EI is what energizes the coil to send a spark through the distributor. The EI is the last check.”

I think if you get a nice spark from the coil the igniter is fine. Am I wrong?

And finally, to be perfectly clear, you were able to start the engine (although it would not run well) before the carb rebuild but not afterwards? If that is the case, why are you thinking that you now have an ignition problem? If the engine ran before the carb rebuild, does that not suggest that the ignition is ok? Definitely check for spark before ordering any parts.
