Stryped, you said below that when you wired in a new ignition switch the ammeter suddenly stopped working.

Figure out what you did wrong at that time and fix it. Otherwise, there's no way to tell if the voltage readings you are seeing are meaningful (although, as old says, 2.6 volts on the high end of the coil with the points closed sounds about right).

I agree, fixing the ammeter provides current that makes the voltage reading's meaningful. Otherwise you need to measure the OHMS of each component, or VD of a know device like OEM Ballast

I think the OEM Ballast MUST also be in the circuit "or" he would likely have more than ~ 3.0 volt with a 6 volt coil. (The OEM Ballast is not White) OEM ballast + 2.0 ohms works

I do not see a reading with points OPEN, that may mean he has a short in the Distributor

2.6 volts is about right with a 6 volt or a 12 volt coil?

How do I tell if the points are "open or closed" as you say?

As I recall.....and I do have bouts of CRS....he should have battery voltage w/ the points open & 1/2 of battery voltage w/ the points closed. If I had a 12v N, I'd check to confirm my memory, but I don't.
