I checked that when I first started trouble shooting, and if I remember right, it was 12 volts. I'll check again tonight.
When I first started trouble shooting this problem I figured the coil was bad, because I had no spark at the spark plugs or the main wire off the coil going to the distributor. But after having all that stuff tested I was lost. The guy at autozone was saying if the pickup in the distributor was shot it wouldn't send the signal to the coil to fire. So I went with the distributor because the pickup was damn near the same price as just replacing the whole distributor.
I opened up the new distributor and the internals of it looks different than the original, so I'm not sure if that might be an issue.
