PLEASE HELP!!!! No Spark

I have 12 Volts going to the coil and power to the distributor- but NO SPARK. So I thought -must be a bad coil. I changed the coil three times and just bought a Fourth- still NO SPARK- even with 12 Volts going to it. I am lost here.

COIL QUESTION
My 64 SDV has no power going to Coil. I have a good battery that is fully charged and everything looks to be hooked up correctly. Is there a fuse that may have blown that provides power to the coil? Has anyone else had this problem?
Any info would be Greatly Appreciated.
Thanks

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
