Yep, I took the reading with the coil disconnected. I must have had
the range setting on my meter wrong - changing the range just moves
the decimal point in most cases, so 489 was probably accurate.

I fixed it, though, and it wasn't the coil. I found another CCS100 kit
at a local auto supply store that had been opened & returned. Took a
reading on that coil and it was also in the mid 400 range. So I
decided to check & recheck everything. All of my electrical work was
fine, my magnet installation was fine, but after testing with a vaccum
gauge I found it wasn't getting the necessary vacuum. I fixed that and
everything works great now.

Thanks for the help! Other than the hassle over a dumb problem that
was my fault, this was a very simple installation. I could install
this kit in an hour tops the next time around. Cruise control for
under $100. Can't beat that with a stick.

If there's enough interest, I'd be willing to write up the
installation procedures on this unit along with pictures so others can
repeat it.... email me and let me know.
