Type II coils

Howdy! Here's my question: Does the type II coilpack on the later model 3.8 supercharged engine ohm out the same as the original (Type I) on the turbocharged 3.8 GN/TR? If not, how do you do a basic check of the coil pack?
Plus can you do the tap test on the MAF like on the GN/TR MAF?
A friend of mine has a 94 Bonneville SSEi which continues to run poorly even after new plugs and wires. I automatically think "MAF, coils, ignition module."
BTW, I already posted this same basic question in the supercharged 3.8 forum and nobody answered.
Thanks.

Type II coils normally run in the 5-6K ohm range. I don't think the tap test on the newer style mafs is valid. Describe "running poorly".
