HELP! NO SPARK 240 '82 200 1982

"I checked the voltage drop on the (+) coil and it drop more than 10.5v like someone told me it read 9.3v How can the ignition switch be the problem for that?"

I now figured out it was only the battery that was low, I now have a reading of 12v. When I start the engine and I turn the ignition switch to cranking mode, the coil terminal 4 (the terminal with the high tension wire going to the distributor cap) Reads only 12v continuasly and does'nt creat a spark. Shouldnt it read a higher voltage and creat a spark? I suspect maybe the distributor is bad since I think it's the part which sends info to the ECU to make a spark. or maybe its the ECU. WHat could be the problem and how can I test it?
