I have 12 volts to the coil from switch and 12v on the side going to the distributor but get no spark out of coil ?? all new coil points cap roter plugs ??
 
From what your saying I'll take a guess that you have a side mount distributor. Are the points set at 0.025?? If you open and close the points by hand do you get a spark from the points that you can both hear and see?? If you do not have a spark at the points you will NEVER have a spark any place else. New points can come wit ha protective coating that needs cleaned off or if there the cheap TSC point well they may never work at all. Or when you installed them you did something to cause a short
 
You will have full voltage on a coil regardless of the resistor if the points are open or wire broken internally.
