"The guy at Little Dearborn told me that the coil needed to be the right type, something with the resistor." True if you have 12 volts.

One without a resistor for 6 volts.

With the ignition switch on and a piece of paper opening the points the voltage at the movable arm should be about 6 volts if you have the correct coil.
