Did you allow for the resistance of the meter leads? That is usually around 0.5 ohms on a typical meter. Older analog meters have a zero adjustment while modern (budget) ones do not. Short the lead probes together on the lowest resistance range. What does it read? Then deduct that reading from any measurements made. Is that better?
The coil is often unnecessarily blamed while they are usually quite reliable. More likely is another cause, such as DME relay or crank sensor.
