Not getting 12 volts to coil

Wow. You are right. I kept my car running for 20 + years, but never left my driveway, 'till this electrical problem. I come from a long line of vehicular abuse, so to speak- connected before this car..I traded a Hemi Dart for it years ago - straps, special glass, but never been registered, my wife said it looked like a little ole lady's car and so I traded it... 'till I heard about Arkansas (I think) easy first time registrations...I apperciate your help, and will get on the connector thing-"Looks like somebody has been in there before..." I've thought that before, too..
