I was out in the garage trying to get my model T started after last summer. I couldn't get the coils to BuZz but my meter showed 6 volts entering the coil box. I did some trouble shooting with a light bulb and could light it bright into. and out of the ammeter but not at the other end of the wire leaving it to the switch. Cleaned the end of the wire terminal and now everything is fine. so just a bit of resistance made a big difference.
