'86 RX7 ignition problems
What was the ohm reading you took? Was it close to the .20 to 1 ohm range? And when you tried the spinning of the CAS in the past did you by chance hear the primary injectors clicking?
Leading .001 t1 .001 t2 .001 and someone told me condenser check which was infin so that's good and no tach at all with condenser in or out and with key on Injector click with spare cas spun by hand just no damn spark lol
When you refer to the strut tower ground I assume you are referring to where the coil bracket comes into contact with the fender as that is the only ground for the coils as there are no ground wires involved but I thought you did this already.
The ohming of the coils should be .2 to 1 ohm and yours don't fall within this range, but it seems very close enough to not be an issue I would guess.
And for the gauges to work (not speedometer) the Meter fuse needs to be good.
Meter fuse good I see12v on dash and the coolant lite buzzing like a honda door dinger cause i broke a sensor there is a ground on drivers side harness right that bolts to lower end of fender/ strut tower. That has paint maybe not giving good resistance. So my coils should be .2 not .002 that's a problem. ..... lo but when check grounds should be the .002 right

You only need to have a working leading coil to run the car as the trailing coil is responsible for igniting any fuel left that was not ignited by the leading coil so I would just focus on the leading coil. Have you tried to start the car w/a jumpstart from another car? I say this because "maybe" your battery is too weak to do the job. I know you say it reads good but that is when the battery is just sitting there doing much of nothing and the key is to how it does when it tries to power up everything necessary as the car is started. This "might" be your issue. And since the leading coil fires both plugs at the same time you only need one MSD unit as opposed to two, which is different then the trailing coil.
It switches however I dont see spark and I tried with msd too. As far as battery and jump staarting that's what I have been doing. I usually have my other car running and hooked up to the rx. Why is the tach not budging
In a stock setup the tach is supposed to work off the trailing coil and not the leading unless the factory coils both had a jumper wire running from the Black diagnostic bullet connectors to each other.
Your tach might be broken, the wiring running into the back of it might be loose, depends on how you have the ignition system wired up, and the new coils if not firing won't drive the tach.
All I did was swap leading coil with msd but either way it switchs and trailing doesnt just stays at 12v so stock or msd d only on leading the tach doesn't move. If it is broken what about the trailing not switching .... I cranked it while jumped to my other car.and it never switched. Was always hot ground never switched on either coil. Of trailing side
The tach uses the Yellow/Blue wire at the trailing coil and this is how the tach works in a stock setup.
Pin X, U ans M. U has 4.4 volts w/key to on, X has 0 volts w/key to on and M has below 2 volts w/key to on.
If you check these pins then for the heck of it check pin 3D (Black/Red) and see if it is below 1.5 volts and pin 1G (Green/Black) and it should read below 1.5 volts.
