holy cow, I got to thinking about your "uncommem position" so I re tested the coil in what I thought was the off position, Bingo! 6 volts at the + side of the coil. Now it has to be either points, condenser or cap right? I rechecked to see if the plugs would fire and they dont. I wasted a whole day on this. Thank god for your comment about uncommen positions
Any insights into what I should next?
