You want full voltage to the red wire, not resisted.
Those were known for a couple problems, most common was the center of the rotor burning through to the shaft, grounding the spark. Also the coil would burn through and short to the metal core piece. Try lifting the cap, see if there is spark coming from the carbon center when cranking. If spark is there, (and it will make a killer spark!) and not getting to the plugs, the rotor is probably bad.
If no spark, put the cap back on, crank it, listen for popping. If it's popping, the coil is shorting to ground.
Look under the upper cover, be sure the ground strap is connected from the coil case to the center terminal of the harness plug.
If no spark, no popping, gently tug on the 2 wires from the pick up coil. If one pulls out, it was broke where it goes into the pick up, replace it. Finally replace the module.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
