You might be better off with a simple test light- the clear plastic handle lights up when voltage goes through by way of the single wire and the "ice pick" probe. Visualization is everything. Usually works better because no numbers to evaluate - is it hot or not. Save the VOM for later. $cheap tool often under $10.00. i F BOTH TERMINALS ARE HOT ON THE AMP METER CURRENT IS PASSING THROUGH. It is possible to have an intermittent issue so wiggle it to see if the light goes on -off--on. This is called a wiggle test. it is real and worthwhile. When something passes the test - move on knowing that things are fine to that test point. Move on to the next item in the series circuit, not to the end to see of the problem went away. They rarely just go away. They might go to ground though, to make a short circuit; not getting to the end of the road, the points. The problem might also be open (a gap) where current stops flowing. The points are opening and closing - one point hot while open and then flowing to ground when closed while the coil gets a charge out of all of the flow and the condenser does too. Thinking without terms that mean something to you is useless. Read this over and over until you know what and why you are doing and in meaningful terms. The ghost of Henry Ford is looking over your shoulder, He might ask you to explain it to him. The first thing to do is draw him a wiring diagram.
