pull the yellow wire off of the starter relay to disable the starter (you know it cranks & no need to run the batt down). have a helper hold the key to start & you under the hood & see if you get near batt voltage to the coil positive primary terminal (have him try the key several times) & get the points on the cam base & open/close them & see if that makes the coil secondary wire (dist end) held 1/4" from ground produce sparks. seperate the bulkhead halves & clean the terminals. I hear Deoxit (spray I believe) is good then Koppercoat then dielectric grease on the outside would be the very best. that'll get you started

And as I said it starts when I run a pig tail from the battery to the positive side of the coil...

clean every terminal/connection from the batt positive post to the bulkhead and the same from the bulkhead to the coil. if that dont do it you might go under the dash & clean every terminal/connection in that path. before going under the dash I would clean the batt neg post/clamp & the other end of that cable to block & braided cable from block to firewall (the ground path) as it (neg return side) might be contributing some to the total problem & pushing the (positive side) voltage drop over the edge tow here it wont fire (& working under the dash is a pain)
