coil test

All my coils produce what looks and feels (ouch) like a normal spark. but they all tested --
ab 1.5ohms
cb open circuit!!! ???
ca open circuit

Am I interpreting the test procedure correctly?
is ab open circuit ok or do I need to replace my coils?

Car has done 18,600miles, I bought it as a non runner, the previous owner had recently fitted new plugs (i found the reciept in the car) the coils don't have any burning on the backs. They could be the originals but I just dont know. I just need to know if the cb part of the coil test should be open circuit.
