What year "good" coils do you have? I know theyre higher than a kite. True they wont just "bolt on" but maybe we can figger out something with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire? The interruptor (trigger, whatever its called) is different on 84 and 85+, on 84 its a round gizmo and later years, a flat plate on the crank, which wouldnt be too hard to make.
YEs, definitely run them through with ohmmeter. Sometimes they wont read open unless hot so if they dont read wide open cold, put them in an oven at 150*F for an hour and try again. If they are bad, I could try to rewind them for you.
