Relane - To check if the coil is getting power, remove the distributor cap and temporarily block open the breaker points (manually open the contacts then place a match flap, $1 bill or similar between ‘em). Now turn on the ignition switch and test with either a voltmeter or low current test light. If everything is OK you will see battery voltage between BOTH coil primary terminals and a good ground. If no voltage at either coil terminal the coil is not receiving voltage – look for a bad ignition switch or wiring to/from the switch. If voltage is seen only at the coil's ignition switch (-) terminal but not at the distributor (+) terminal, the coil is bad (open circuit in the primary). --- Power for the ignition switch should be taken from the ammeter post NOT connected to the battery. It'll work connected directly to the ungrounded (-) battery terminal, but it will cause the ammeter to read incorrectly. Hope this helps!
