The fuse holder looks normal in your picture but you said
"With the ignition switch on (popped out) and the fuse removed, I get 6 volts to flywheel side of fuse holder and 0 volts to the radiator side of the fuse holder as expected."
This is just opposite of what you should have. If your statement is correct you have something wrong with the fuse holder.
You seem to have several problems, in that sometimes you have power at one point and then you don't. I would take one wire at a time at the junction box and the coil and clean up the terminals well. If that doesn't help maybe it is time to get some help from a club member or a mechanic friend who can help you. It is very difficult for us to diagnose form afar.
