Take a jumper wire from battery to coil if the amps measure as calculated you got resistance in the wires/switch feeding the coil.
If it´s still the same check wires/ground to distributor.
Do you have full voltage to the ballast resistor ?
I would have thought a voltage drop before the coil was needed to get readings in that range...
