Looks like you are left with coil and spark plug wires.

The spark plug wires should Ohm out at about 1000 Ohms per foot of length. Example: a 2 foot long wire will be 2000 ohms, a 3 foot wire 3000 ohms. Lower resistance is better, but the tolerance is +/- 10-15%. Taylor and Accel wires with solid metal core wiring may be much lower.

Ohm Readings:

Coil Wire: 2000
1: 1890
2: 2010
3: 2580
4: 2850
5: 1780
6: 2340
7: 2670
8: 2860

All those seems to be fine, so I checked the coil again and got this.
Primary: 1.69 on the 200 setting
Secondary: 3.16 on the 20K setting

Im a bit lost now. What to do?

I would try a replacement ignition coil at this point. It runs about $13-$15 at most of the larger auto parts stores.
