1979 Suzuki GS550 Ignition

So, I ended up replacing a coil in my motorcycle.

I put on the coil for the "E" model, but I may need the coil for the "L" model. Does anyone know if they were the same or would be interchangeable?

Also, could anyone tell me how to check the original coil to see if it is still good?

Thanks,
Danny

Probably the same, but might have different connectors or mounting method.
as to coil checking, see this link.... Jump to step10

I have an orange/white and black wire on the coil. I have 2.5 ohms of resistance there. Between the 2 wires that connect to the spark plugs I have a reading of OL or infinity and no continuity. Was it saying that I was supposed to have 30-35K ohms of resistance between those 2 wires? FYI the coil isn't installed in the bike right now.
