I assume this should be done with the 2 + coil wires disconnected, if so, first reading was .09 Volts, second one while cranking showed 0.0 V....Also as I mentioned, removing a spark plug and holding it against block produced no spark when cranking. Would this point to a defective coil, because when I did the coil Ohm test it appeared to be within specs.

No, test with all wiring connected "normal." However if you have a tach (trigger wire hooks to coil NEG, disconnect it for now

Coils can be tricky to test. "rig a test gap from coil tower to coil NEG. You can use a spark plug, but use a solid core wire, not a resistor wire. Hook coil + to batt + then tap the NEG coil terminal with a clip lead from the batt neg termainl. They will not always spark as if they were in circuit, but you should be able to get some idea
