If you've got a generator and three caps on the battery, that IS 6-volt. A 12-volt woold have six caps on the battery and COULD have a generator, but more likely an alternator.
So . . . double check that you have a) a 6v coil--part number check with the parts house if it isn't stamped or printed right on it -- and b) that you have the same pole running on the small wire from the coil to the distributor as what you have grounded on the battery. Positive for both would be the standard setup.
And just for giggles, you might try popping your old condensor back in when you go in to double-check the points.
Check all that out before you go getting another set of wires. Also, if you didn't do it that way in the first place, the tip above about stripping the wire back and turning the stripped wire back over the end and onto the insulation to make contact with the terminal is a good one.
