Did you disconnect the coil from the igniter when you tested it? If not, you'll get parallel resistance through the igniter.
You should disconnect the igniter and test resistance between the primary terminals (+ and -) should be between 0.5 and 0.7 ohms, and between the + and secondary terminal should be between 11.4K and 15.6K ohms. Additionally, there should be no continuity between the terminals and body of the coil.
