Ignition switch to coil power resistance (Vanagon)
How much resistance is there from the ignition power over to coil in stock Vanagon?

16-AWG copper wire (as identified by Bentley for the switch-coil ignition circuit) has a resistance of 4.016 milli-ohms per foot, according to this Wikipedia article.
Figure about 15 feet of wire, give-or-take, and you get about 0.060 ohms.
