OK, I need help.  I installed a Mallory electronic ignition module in my distributor on my 66DVC.  I had it for a couple of years and I do not like it and want to go back to points.  My question is this.  What wires go to the + and - side of the coil?  This is what I am thinking: the two coming from the firewall go to the positive side of the terminal.  I see a black wire coming from the firewall which I assume goes to the negative side.  also, the black wire from the distributor that I think goes to negative side also.  I am getting no spark.  The coil and points are new.  This is driving me nuts!!!  I am gettin 12v at the + coil with the ignition on (I tested this with a voltage meter and test light).  How do I test the negative side?  Please help!!!
