Primary should be single-digits, 1--3 ohms. Few turns of relatively heavy-gauge wire.
Secondary would be hundreds or thousands of ohms. Lots of turns of fine wire.

That's really disheartening. I've got a couple of the similar PS50 (for electronic ignitions) still in the box.
Wondering if they changed the design.
Used to be advertised as "oil-filled", now they're jabbering about "epoxy-filled".
