Procomp coil 65k volt, what's the primary resistance

The reason i'm asking is because the procomp 6al box I have says to use a coil with a primary resistance of less than 1 ohm. I can't find specs anywhere to let me know.
I figured maybe someone is running this coil, supposably it's new for '06. I'm not dealing with procomp after this, their website doesn't even have an updated catalog. That tells you something, and the directions for the pc-6al weren't spelled right.

Sounds quality. You can measure the resistance of the primaries and see if they come up under 1 ohm. Just understand that your run of the mill ohm meter is no where near accurate at that low a resistance. But you don't really need to know what the Resistance is, just if it's under 1 ohm. Do you have a DMM/ohm meter and know how to use it?

Yes, I do know how to use an ohm meter, but I don't have the coil. I wanted to know before I buy the complete distributor, with the coil. I found it for a good price. I just wanted to see if anyone on here is running the coil, and they can check.
The price is too good to be true, and the ammount of money i'm going to spend on another hei cap, and external coil is more than this whole dizzy.
thanks
