[Exception: If you're > measuring this with the dizzy out, then the dizzy itself is no longer > grounded so everything on it will float up to 12V when the points > are closed.] I checked voltage with the dizzy in the car, and there was always voltage at the points, even when I "closed" them.

Yes, I accidentally grounded myself on the dizzy shaft (ouch!) > Some rotors have 0 Ohms while other have 5000 Ohms. Both work > fine, but the former will make more noise on your AM radio.
