MSD blaster coil resistance figures question

Hi- been away from here for a loooooong time!
I'm running a Mopar orange box and distributor kit on my Charger, with a MSD 8202 Blaster Coil.
I have no spark, and having measured resistance in the primary and secondary windings of the coil, they are both higher than the manufacturers specs:

Primary: 1.1 Ohms (manufacturers spec= 0.7 Ohms)
Secondary: 5.3K Ohms (manufacturers spec= 4.7K Ohms)

That was cold and bench tested btw.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about this... 0.6K Ohms difference doesn't seem a lot to me, but do you reckon the coil is toast? Or should I look into the orange box setup?
Oh yeah- I have 12v at the coil btw, but no spark at all....

Cheers,  ;)
