you should have 12 volts at the negative side of the coil with opens open. with the points closed you will get ground at the negative side of the coil. Basically take a test light and attach the clamp to ground. with the probe, touch it to coil negative while the engine is cranking. Does the light flash? If it does, you have a bad coil.
