So, I have ground from the points base plate to engine block so all seems good there. However, when testing the coil, we disconnected the + side (from the coil to dizzy) and put a jumper wire on the coil. With the coil feed wire disconnected from the dizzy and held close to ground and the - side connected to the - side of the battery, when we touch the jumper wire from the + side of coil to ground, IT sparks but there is no spark from the coil feed wire suggesting that there is no power to the dizzy from the coil. We tried two different feed wires and checked the resistance on the feed wires and they seem to be fine. I hope all that makes sense. Unless I'm misreading the test results, It seems to me that the coil is shot.
