Stock internal coil has been removed, Quick check is to spin the mag by  hand while holding the ground lug without the coil attached. Do it over something soft and with plenty of friends around in case I am wrong about this.

You might want to substitute a spark plug tester for yourself in this test.

Back in the 70's I had a Vertex, and a friend was sitting in an easy chair with it.  Decided for some reason to give it a spin while holding it, burnt his thumb and thew the mag across the room!
