It's in the FSM and depends on the year/engine.

Assuming a '69 GTX 440:

Thanks . But actually its 1966 satellite hemi
Stock coil and dual point ignition.

For some reason i had .8 ohms in my head

The car is covered and my meter has a dead battery. So couldn't ck the one on the car.

I just want to pick one up as a spare for road trips

From the '66 FSM backed up by the '67 FSM, same value as John has, 0.5-0.6 ohms. You really have to invest in an FSM!!

It has always amazed me some of the minutia that Chrysler included in the FSM under specifications. And then I've always been amazed at what's not in the specifications, like deck height.
