Why am I only getting 6 volts going to my coil???
With the key on, see if there is a voltage drop between the distributor body and the battery negative post. Also, if you just need to get it running, splice the wires with suitcase connectors (aka tap splices, Scotch Locks). You don't have to cut off the connectors, and you can pull the splices back off later when you fix the plugs.
