Yes I have had the coils out, they look to be in good condition from what I can tell.
Why should I check timing? It seems a bit pointless as it was running ok, and nothing has been touched there?
I also took some voltage readings across some of the coils while the car was running, no voltage difference between the two posts of the battery and between the battery and anywhere on the motor that is bare metal. Was right on 13.8v
