A common reason for getting inconsistent readings on coils is because the test lead is not making a good connection to the lugs on the coil. That game is 34 years old. Excellent chance the coil connections aren't shiny any more.

Find the cleanest looking spot on each lug to touch with your test lead, then scrape lightly a little with the tip of your test lead, if needed.
