<VV> coil wiring help needed

[Harry Yarnell]

To get the 6-8 volt reading, the wire must be connected to the + on the 
coil, and the points closed. The point wire (to the distributor) goes on 
the - coil term. Or you can just clip lead the - side to ground..
Otherwise you'll read 12 volts without the load of the coil.
