Thanks for the info, Glen.  Unfortunately, I tried that to no avail, 
when I did see some spark at the plug.  At this point, with a new 
coil and ballast resistor, I have no spark even from the coil lead 
to ground, but the coil primary (switch side) has power.  I don't 
get it.

More help anyone??
