Coil is grounded?? Check the wiring and insulators going into the Distributor. They ground out inside the distributor. Alsos een bad bad coils break down under load.

do the points open and close, opening and closing the circuit to ground on the negitive side of the coil? ? make sure your coil's outside case is grounded?
