thanks for the reply LIT3 . the current coil is the one that came with it 47 years ago. I am running reproduction date coded wires like the ones that would have come on it. I do not have the model number of the m&h breakerless with me ( I am at work right now) I called the company , and they was telling me about the same thing you are. that I have a voltage drop, and check the voltage from my starter up to the coil.
