OK, here's what happened...
on the aftermarket started the posts are closer together one of the leads wasn't tightened down enough and twisted to touch a post which caused the power to remain constant to the coil......fried the new and old coil.

replaced the coil after the fix and tested the coil on the + side with key off like Pyrotechnic said and now it's working fine.

Thanks guys!
Friday she goes in for the rebuild
