Advice Required Coil Testing

["Adrian Dix-Dyer" <dixie4@wales.freeserve.co.uk>]

Dear Listers,

I have recently picked up an original Lucas HA12 coil for a TR4A with the
correct date codes. It is secondhand and the working condition is unknown.

As my engine is out of the vehicle how do I check the working condition of
the coil on the bench without any fancy equipment? I do have a multimeter
and basic limited electrical knowlege.

Thanks in anticipation
