You state there is spark and the ignition system is fine. I'm kinda sorta thinking there is a problem. Check to make sure it has the correct coil [or external resistor]. Check that the points voltage is not over 8v.
The only problem here is the points will measure battery voltage when they are open, and they will be 0 volts when they are closed. You'd have to measure the voltage at the coil points terminal if you are using an external resistor and 12 volts.
