All of the 750 twins from '76 - '79 used 4 Ohm coil/points ignition. I think some of the 400 or 440 twins had electronic ignition, not sure what years.

This coil is for any points system:

dont think this will work on my bike, the mount points are 4" apart... not 3.5"

on the hunt for one before buying a new one

Was continuity measured between ends of the spark plug wires with the caps off?
Should be very high ohms, such as 18K or maybe higher (guessing).

If no continuity, perhaps one of the caps is defective (if measuring between the caps attached to the plugs).

It's sometimes possible to snip a short section from the plug wire ends to provide better connections with the caps (in case the wire-cap lacks continuity).

Good Fortune! :)
