Something's wrong with the points!
With the engine stopped in a "normal" crankshaft stopping position (ie. with the points closed) and the ign switch "on" you should see 6 volts at one coil terminal (the one wired to the ign switch) and 0 volts at the other. You should also see 0 volts at the distributor side lug.
But since you are getting 6 volts at both places it means the points are not grounding when closed. Try lightly filing or running abrasive cloth through points to clean them up, then regap them to 0.020.
If that doesn't get you a spark, replace the points.
