Not getting 12 volts to coil

I have 10 volts when cranking the IGN2 J3-14BR wire on the ballast resistor. Doing a voltage loss test on the other side of the ballast resistor with the key in 'run,' I get 2 volts loss (J2A-16DBL wire), but I don't know if some other component should be disconnected. One complicating factor is that I have dual points, and I've checked both are closed when doing 'run-IGN 1' tests. I have .017 " gap when open (not much). Now I may have high 'resistance' in my carbutetors and my blood, but I was on a lake July 4 with family without resistance.
