1986 2.5 L OMC I have no fire coming out of the Coil wire That goes to the distributor. I have power on both sides of the coil 11.5 V with the ignition switch on I even put a jumper wire from the battery positive to the positive side of the coil wire from the battery and still no fire. I tried a new coil still the same thing. Any any help would be appreciated.

File the points
Rough gap to 0.018"
Set the point dwell to 30-32 degrees
Then set timing to 4 degrees BTDC
