Bought used oem distributor and ohms are not with in specs. Will it work? (1 Viewer)

[Wshazo]

I bought an oem used distributor, because my pick up coils were bad. Ad said it was tested good. Upon delivery, I unboxed and immediately checked the ohms on the pick up coils one reads 333 the other reads 166. According to the fsm both are put of spec. Should I send it back or put it in? They said it tested good.

Send it back. Might be better off with aftermarket Dizzy if money is tight.
Someone on the forum installed a cheapo ? $70 new Dizzy and it worked.
Check Rockauto, cheapest is around $140 now.

Buy an OEM Toyota one while they are still available and don't look back.

FWIW, these fail either OC or shorted. Both readings are barely out of book spec. That dissy will work fine.
