There's 4 screws around the outside that must be removed. Slide the vacuum advance out. Then the pickup will come out, it's attached to the lower mounting plate with a spring clip on the bottem.
Then how does the pick up coil assembly come off that plate that it is attached to in the pic? The new one in the box is not attached to one.

A little triangle clip on the back of the mounting plate.
That clip cant be removed until you take the 4 screws out and the vacuum pod?

You've removed the center clip and the reluctor and lifted up the top flat plate slightly so the nub on the end of the vac can arm comes out of its hole in the flat plate and the 2 screws for the vac can & removed the can. Take out the 2 addition'l screws on the side of the housing & carefully without tilting it severely lift both of the flat plates up & out evenly together. Once out flip the assy over & remove the triangle clip so you can seperate the 2 flat plates. Unless the new pickup coil comes with the top flat plate as an assy (never bought one) you'll need to drill out the rivet so you can R&R it. I make a magic marker mark on the top plate and the housing so I can quickly orient their clocking when going back together. You can figure it out but it saves time & is easy to do

Okay...
The new PU coil tested 310 ohms
The old PU coil tested 282 ohms
What does that mean? Both are good most likely?
My factory service manuals for both my 71 and 74 cars says 350-550 ohms. I have been using 2 PUs that check at 332 ohms and the car runs great.
282 I think I would be concerned?? But if you got a new one at 310, the old one is still probably still good. Only one way to find out to run them both when you get your car running.
