1962 235 that I had running beautifully a year ago. Got a new battery yesterday and went to start and quickly figured out I have no spark at plugs now. This is a 12v conversion with a ballast resistor on firewall.

I suck at all things electric. But here’s what I’ve got so far:

Engine cranks very well
With ignition on and points closed:
12v at one ballast terminal, 5 volts at the other
5 volts at positive terminal at coil, about 0.25v at the negative and at the distributor.
