Coil Failure? 200 1982

I'm not getting a spark out of my coil. I tested the primary and secondary on the coil and it checks out. I even bought a new coil and nothing (I'm back to the old coil). I turn the key on and I have 12 volts at the coil. Does anyone know the exact procedures for trouble shooting the coil? Or how to determine why I'm not getting a spark out of it? I messed around with the FP Relay, soldered a few areas on it, and it seems to be OK. If I understand correctly, the fuel pumps, or the FPR won't work if I have no spark.

While working with the coil, I have been shocked a couple of times! But, when I try to do the wire to ground thing - NO Spark! Some type of "controlling unit"?
