Small small spark when taking a screw driver into coil wire to to ground. Real small spark. I took a coat hanger from center of coil to ground...same small small spark. However, I cannot get spark to distribute to spark plug wires. So I reconnected coil wire to center of distributor and pull out spark plug wire and insert screw driver (into wire) to ground and NO spark whatsoever. Changed distributor cap and button from old to new and new to old. No difference. Checked continuity on all contacts. No issue. Pertronix unit on distributor shaft and pickup are just about level with each other with the required gap.

Bosch coils register 3 ohms of Resistance.
