Question Quick Help with TFI...Please Help

Alright guys,

I've officially been down 2 months now. My schedule accumulates over 60 hours a week and its hard to get anything done. I've still got no spark at my plugs. I've done the following in this order....

Starter Relay
Coil (it started up and ran for one night, then went back dead,during this time the timing was way off)

TFI Module
Wires
Another Coil (I hear its possible to short a coil with a bad TFI)

Now, I've still got no spark, and while cranking im reading 9-11 volts from the positive terminal of the coil (the one leading to the Distributor). This does not seem right. I've tried everything I can think of except pick-up and ignition switch, both of which I have and am leaving for last as they are a hassle.

Please give me some suggestions I'm so lost with no spark.

Carlo

can you run a jumper from the positive battery to the positive on the coil and see if that gives you spark? does that have fuel injection? bob
