Look at the link above for more test points/ procedure on the coil.

Also, Is the .5 ohm reading you have with the points closed? What about with points open? Should be no continuity there.

Yes .5 with the points closed. Points open no continuity.

Per the coil test link - here is what I got.
42.8k ohms resistance between coil + and -
I’m assuming the “tower” is where the plug wire goes - no continuity when points open. 11.38m ohms when points are closed
The last test - coil ground to engine ground is .3 ohms and coil positive to engine ground 43.2k ohms

Bad coil maybe? Odd thing is the old coil yields no spark too. Granted it didn’t run well with the old coil- but still had spark. Thanks for the response. Let me know if I didn’t perform any of those test correctly. Been a long long while since I worked on these old small engine systems, and this is by far the oldest thing i have ever worked on.
