what year, what engine?

generally can't test an ignitor, you have to try a known good one and see if it works.
As far as the coil goes, I don't remember what the values are for resistance. I'd have to look it up.

Sounds like timing is off. Are you sure the belt/chain was put on correctly?

I would also try rotating the distriburor, or making sure it is in time.

yes it sounds like the ignition timing is one or so teeth off on the distributor...
