- terminal will go from zero (points closed) to 12V (not 10V) when points are open.
See: "Why won't my engine start?" on my web site for things to check if you're having trouble.

What should the voltage be at the + and - terminals of a 12 volt coil? Mine reads 8.2 Thanks.
What are you measuring? The voltage from ground to one of the terminals? If so which one? Are you perhaps measuring this with the engine running? If so, this means very little. Use a dwell meter instead.
