I'd hook a wire to the Neg of the coil and with the coil lead set off of the block, turn the ignition on and tap that wire to the block to test the coil.

Just a few ideas.....Do you have another distributor and/or coil (check compatibility) you could adapt & try? I recall hearing that the Uni-lite distributors can go bad, but don't recall the symptoms. (Dirty window?) Gotta ask - firing order correct or timing moved? I've run a Malloryr 6AL with one of their magnetic pick-up distributors for 15+ years with no issues.
EDIT - I did have one issue: One of the pins in the distributor lead pushed back in the plug and had an intermittent connection.

Turns out the Mallory box was bad. I scrounged up a spare and it had at least 10x the spark. I’m not sure how it can go bad but still have a small spark but that’s exactly what happened. What’s the part number of the box? Also, if you PM me I’ll give you the email address fo the guy at Mallory who was the head engineer on most of those boxes and he fixes them pretty cheap. If it’s the part number I like and you don’t want it I’d be interested in buying it.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I will be running my old Mallory VI-AL (Not 6-AL) on my LRT build. It works good when wired right. But a loose ground almost made me toss it years ago.
