Since this guy has a ford N with a front mount.. it's really kinda hard (read: impossible ) to get the test lamp to the contact -under- the square coil that clmaps to the distribuitor.

The front mounts use a balalst resistor, so the votlage at the top of the coil will bob from battery votlage to some lower number as points open and close. If you remove the coil and put a test lamp inline with the power wire and the points contact screw, the lamp should flicker when the engine is bumped over.

As for the coils burning up.. sound slike you are not running correct resistance.

The oem 6v coil on a 6v system needed the oem ballast resistor. To run that same 6v coil on 12v you needed the oem ballast resistor and a 8ne10306 dropping resistor. If you have a newer 'tisco style 12v coil'.. then you need a 1/2 ohm 10 or 20 watt power resistor inline with the coil as they are not robust at 14.7v.

Condensor goes between points contacts as a switch debouncer.
