    MS - Coil problems... Not firing in pairs???

    So I am running a Ford coil pack and wasted spark (paired as 1-6, 2-5, 3-6) but when I check the timing with a timing light the paired wires are not firing in synchronycity. For example, Cylinder 1 fires at 17° BTDC and cylinder 6 fires at 34°.

    In fact, when I checked the pairs that I could check, they each seemed to end up with one side of the coil pack firing at almost exactly double the advance of the other side.

    Info:
    MS1 - V3
    3 coil drivers
    Ford V6 coil pack
    Dwell: 2.8ms
    Discharge: .2

    WTF! I tested the coil and even replaced it. The pairs each show continuity with 10 ? Ohms. (Can't remember what i had the meter set on?)

    Totally baffled how 2 things could be connected to the same coil and not fire at the same time?

    Am I missing something obvious?
