OK, one other check . Is there 12V +/- there while the engine is cranking? I know this sounds odd, but you need voltage to the primary of the coil while the engine is running and while cranking. It'll be lower as Mr Ohm steals voltage while the battery is supplying cranking current , but it should be present.
If that's OK:
Disconnect the condenser . Measure resistance from the condenser wire to the case of the condenser. It should be "open" . Is it? If it is, hook it back up to the secondary and remove the secondary wire from coil to points.
Loosen the spark plug to make turning the engine over easier. Key off. measure resistance across the disconnected secondary coil wire and the ground side of the points while you turn the engine over by hand. Can you see the points open and close with the ohmmeter?
You'll get this!
