The positive 12 volts goes to the + side of the coil. Negative to the negative on the coil. Green to chassis ground from the harness. On the battery, + goes to the starter solenoid. Negative on the battery goes to lug on the engine providing chassis ground. All these connections have been verified multiple times with a VOM for continuity and voltage.
I guess it is possible something could have come loose in transit.
Does the coil require some odd voltage? Is this the reason for the resistor?
All I know is it won't produce a spark, regardless of the configuration. Pretty frustrating. Sometimes it just best to walk away from it for awhile. Let it sit.
