Spark/ignition issues?

There are only three vacuum lines in the carb, they are either hooked up or blocked, yes.

Probably shouldn't have a computer so close to the garage, cause it's easy to post the hell out of a thread. lol. Okay, so I'm finding something strange about the coil (or the wiring going to it perhaps). With the key in the run position, and when there is no spark working, I get about 1 to 1.5 volts from the pos side of the coil to ground. (As I mentioned earlier when I had spark, I get 12-13 volts on it.) Sound like the coil is flaky? I thought yeah, that's gotta be it. So...I had the old original coil lying around so I tried to use it to see if that made a difference. Nope. It could be bad too though, I can't really trust it too much. Hard to pinpoint a correlation in getting spark vs. no spark too. Something is amiss there, that's for certain.

The search continues....
What voltage reading are you getting at the positive side of the ballast resistor? If it's 1 volt, there's a wiring or ignition switch issue. If it's 12 volts or more, it's a ballast resistor problem.
