The wire from the switch goes to the + side of the coil but haveing them reversed will not cause the problem you describe. When you open & close the points you should get a blue spark from the high tension wire comeing out of the coil holding it close to the engine. You could possibly have a bad condenser. If everything else is good you must have gotten a bad coil.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
