Im not sure what I am doing wrong. But I can't get my A to run. It's recently been reassembled. I've triple checked the wiring and I believe it to all be correct.

It turns over.
I have 6.34 volts on both sides of the coil and junction box.
I have 6.34 volts on the end of the armored wire when the ignition switch is on.

when I screw that back in, Only 2 to 3 turns, i get 6.34 volts at the points arm. Whether they are open or closed.

What the heck is going on here. Shouldn't it show no voltage when the points close?

Do I have a ground problem? I'm unsure of what to try next? I'm about ready to hire a professional. I just want it to work!
