Thank you Scouts
I see, most people don't have the 94-95 distributor fired engine? Actually I don't have the RAVE, all I have is a Haynes manual. I have ordered the fuel pump and related bits and bobs to install, and while I did a backyard mechanic spark test, I'm not inclined to go thru a comprehensive spark system test until I get the fuel pump installed and verify all is working OK. Then I would feel confident that my readings would be correct.

Not required to have the Rave manual, and I did not want to bother you but the measuring with a multimeter on a static engine (not running) as I explained in my first attempt may take 5 minutes and your '94 has the same type ignition. Again I apologise for having asked your assistance but it is my only confirmation before I proceed with buying yet another coil and ignition amplifier unit tomorrow and burn them out too.

OK, here is what I got for the readings you wanted, from my 1994 Disco I, manual transmission.
Battery voltage at battery: 11.85 volts (battery down a bit from sitting)
These correspond to your 4 tests.
Ignition on:
1. 11.73 volts
2. 11.73 volts
3. Essentially zero volts
4. Essentially zero volts
With ignition off, I get no readings on either side of coil.
Hope this helps.
