Here are the current test I've done.

Valves-OK
Points-OK
Timing-OK
Charging voltage 12 at idle 13 at higher revs.
ECU grounds-OK, measured through the connector to the ECU.
MPC windings - OK measured as per Muir
Power to ECU - OK
Injector Grounds - OK


I know that there are resistance checks to do to some other components
but I couldn't find them in Muir.

What do I check now?
