Your voltages are consistent with a car wired up per Henry's original scheme, the key switch is in between the coil and the distributor points. There is nothing wrong with that, it just helps to know when troubleshooting.

I assume battery is connected Positive Ground? If so, look on the coil where you have the red wire connected -- it should be labeled with a little + symbol. If not, swap those 2 coil wires.

Good luck with it.

Will measure with the key on and a paper between the points. And yes, the battery is connected to positive ground the red wire on the coil is connected to the -- terminal.
The car had been running great and driving on long distances fine. I parked if, didn't run it for a day, went out to go to the show, it started and ran for like two seconds and died, I started it again and it ran for two seconds and died and now just cranks over.
Thanks for your input, I'll post the results later today when I go home.
