<VV> Ignition weirdness

[Jeff Wilson]

I'm having all kinds of grimlins with my ignition system.

Just put in new plugs and plug wires, and a new coil.

It (65 95HP) still idles pretty crappy.

Coil says on its side use ONLY with resistor!

I've checked th voltage on the + terminal, it shows 12.5
with engine off and circa 11 with the engine running.
Is this about right? Seems high to me. Is the black and yellow
wire to the + terminal not supposed to be a 'resistance wire'?

Dwell meter shows 30 degrees dead on, but I feel like it ran
better at about 20. Can you have too MUCH dwell (points too
close)?

PS felling like bagging it and going Pertronics, but would like to 
get the points system right just for now.
