No spark?

Ok 4.2 to the + side of the coil and 1.5 to the - side of the coil with the ignition on. I can't get an accurate while cranking because the kid had the starter relay on push button to jump it and I haven't got that far yet with this car. Should there be power on both sides like that?

Yes there could be voltage on both sides of the coil sometimes. How much voltage on the + side of the coil while cranking it? It should be close to battery cranking voltage.
Do you happen to have access to another electronic distributor? It could be from either a small block or big block as it doesn't matter, you just need it for a test unit to turn by hand is all. If so unplug the dist. in the engine and plug in the test dist., turn it by hand with the key on and see if you are getting spark.
