Things keep getting worse.

I thought the resistor wire was the problem so I bypassed it with a wire from the unfused ignition port to the coil +, with an inline ceramic resistor. Now I have only +1.2 volts at my unfused ignition port with the key in "run". Previously I had +12.

Where is the power going? My battery is brand new and reads +12.6. Is my ignition switch bad?
