Weird would expect king lead to have something guessing its been wired up wrong and its earthing on the chassis near the coil iteself somewhere?
Earth strap should be on the coil holder to firewall rest should be straight forward?

The earth strap is from the coil holder onto engine block!?

Depends Ive seen them bolted to firewall but need to get some voltage readings when it pulses it might be there but not strong enough to charge coil?
