Not Getting 12 Volts at Coil

'74 Sport said

The one thing I don't remember you saying, Randy, is whether you actually pulled the cap off the distributor and saw the rotor turn with a quick bump of the starter. Do you know if the old nylon gear on the shaft is engaging the cam?

I'm about out of ideas myself,

Yep it turns. I pulled the dizzy cap again tonight and had the wife try to crank the engine. The rotor turned as it was supposed to. The distributor was out of the block for a long time while my son and I restored the body. The gears on the dizzy are fine.

Next step - How do you test the pickup wires?

I'm also having trouble finding original style spark plug wires and a new high tension coil/distributor wire made of copper wire. Who sells them "Made in the USA"? eBay auction 290248073927 is selling the style that I want, however they are silicone spiral core wires.
