not using a cd77, using a dvm with the DVA ( peak meter adaptor) so if the manual doesnt call for the pl-88 load resistor , than I dont use one? I have low voltage ( 5 volts) from the pac with the coils connected, voltage goes to zero when I disconnect the coils, does the pac not work without a load? or do I have a bad pac, have spark , but weak at 7/16 gap,
