    Checked secondary which should be 3 to 4000 ohms and it's 7500.!

    Ignition module would be my suggestion. Do yourself a favour and search for Bee Utey's Bosch conversion. Much less heartache than the Lucas original.

    Yours is the 3 wire? The black on just goes to your body/earth strap/earth bolt through the IM.

    Distinguished Gentlemen,
    Is there a way to test the ignition module (bosch bim024) or standard lr?
    Also, would an ignition coil with a secondary circuit of 4850 ohms make my engine not start?
    Cheers

    I checked my stash of used coils and around 5K ohms is common on the cheapie no-name brand electronic coils. Land Rover OEM Bosch is around 9K but I doubt if your low resistance is the reason for your no-go. I've put the module diagnosis up on my thread here.
