The coil is producing spark, but are you getting spark at the plugs? Are you getting fuel?

Oh boy. What do you mean by "the coil is getting the fire?" What does that mean? What exactly did you measure, how did you measure it, and what were the results? Why did you swap it out? Did you swap it out before or after it "got the fire"?
