Calf Rope! 230 Won't Fire! Help!

OK, I have a Super C in perfect running condition. My buddy has a 230, almost identical to my SC, ran fine up until last month, now gets no fire. He & I and two other friends who claim to know enough about these Farmalls (we own 12 between us, in varying running/not running condition) worked two hours on her today before giving up. Plenty of gas, 12-volt conversion, hot battery, switch on, juice in and out of coil, no fire from coil to distributor. Tried three coils, three condensers, new points, new dist. cap, new rotor button, new spark plugs, new coil wire, still no fire. 12 volts coming from battery to coil, draws down to seven when starter spinning. That should still be enough to get spark from coil, shouldn't it? We're all stumped and decided to walk away from it for the day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, before we throw a match on the old girl tomorrow!
