Corey,
I was just involved in a similar dilemma with a friend's TR3A. After
checking all that you have checked, his problem turned out to be a bad coil.
Interestingly, he bought the coil (Lucas Sport) new many years ago to keep as a
spare and had recently used it to replace an older Lucas coil. So we wondered
if it could be one of a batch of "bad" coils. But I think that today's coils
(and other parts) are victims of more than random quality control issues so,
just pulling it out of the nice new shiny box doesn't make the part reliable.
Oh.....I've never seen a factory installed relay between the coil and
ignition switch and don't know why (electrically speaking) you would need one so
you may also want to take another look at that setup.

There is a unit between the ignition switch and coil - believe it is a
relay for the ignition switch assembly.
