Default Dyna dual fire ignition, no spark

Restoring 76 FLH with a Dyna Ds6-1 and a green 3 ohm Dyna coil. I have no fire. I called Dyna for test info for the pickup and the coil and they both passed the tests they recommended. The coil primary is 3.6 ohms and the secondary is 12,000 ohms. the blue wire to base plate has no continuity, and the white has continuity. I'm jumping the coil to the white wire side of this coil, assuming it is positive side of the coil. Which would be the bottom terminal under the # 2 cyl plug wire terminal. Not sure what to do. Don't want to replace more than I need, but gotta have fire. If any of you have a better procedure to test, please let me know. Not absolutely sure about the + and - side of the coil. it's not marked.
