To pa911, and others who don't have a clue about the operation of the Bosch CDI system:
CDI systems NEVER HAVE +12 Volts at the coil!!! One side of the coil is permanently grounded, and the other side gets intermittent, timed +460 Volt pulses from the CDI unit!
michigan,
To test the CDI system plug a spark plug wire directly into the coil and ground a new spark plug for testing purposes. Disconnect the Black and Black/Violet wires at the distributor and repeatedly touch the Black wire to ground. Each time the wire is lifted from ground there should be a blue/white spark at the test spark plug.

Hey your right there's not 12 volts at the coil.
try doing a search on alternator wiring.
