Plus side of coil with key on I get 30 volts and while cranking I get a draw down to 25 volts and it holds steady at that voltage.
Neg. side of coil with key on I get 1 volt and while cranking I get a pulse from 1 to 2 volts.
Just out of curiosity I disconnected the neg coil wire from the connection to the condenser wire on the points and I now get 30 volts on that connection and at the neg. terminal of the coil.
With that wire still disconnected when I crank the motor it draws down to 25 volts and holds steady. On the positive side of the coil with the key on it does the same thing, I get 30 volts and it draws down to 25 volts and holds steady. I may need to replace the batteries in my meter or its not working properly because the voltage on my battery and so on should be about 12 volts. I will try again in the morning.
