Hey guys I am wondering what is the proper way to test the coils on my engine??? I dont have spark at 2 cylinders. I moved the plugs and wires around but still no change. I have ohm tested them and they all seem to be the same but was wondering if someone could let me know. Also should I start looking at the cdi box. Its a 1977 Merc 175 V6 Thanks

Started to check wiring and found several stator wires that were bad. Have new stator coming. I think this might be the problem
