Okay. I'm working on a 36 Cabriolet. I have replaced the original distributor with a 11A rebuild from third gen. I also went with the different coil setup. Still 6 volt positive ground. I have bypassed the resister under the dash. I have 6 volts at the coil with ignition on. My ignition source for the coil is the same wire that was used for the old setup. It also showed 6 volts prior. The positive terminal for the coil is grounded to frame and the neg is using the fore mentioned ignition source wire. I have no spark at the plug. Love some ideas.
