Yes, do as I asked and report DC battery voltage at idle and WOT. I don't want you to burn up another coil getting that info, so you can save the WOT reading for later.
Testing for an AC voltage leak is complicated, and unless it's a very large leak, you may not find it anyway. Usually it fries the points and condenser before the coil.
Those sparks were caused by a poor connection. It didn't hurt your coil.
