Check the points.

You will not get 12 volts at the coil. You will get 12 volts at the points. Be careful, it is more like 300 v at the coil.

Since your CD box is making noise, I assume it is getting power.

Take the center coil wire and place the end next (1/ 8") to the motor to check for spark. Remove the cap and rotor from the distributor. With the ignition on manually operate the points and check for spark from the coil.
