I sort of understand what you're saying and if I had disconnected the connection to the distributor before measuring the voltage between the CB coil connection and earth then I could understand it but with the coil still connected I would have thought the CB terminal being directly connected to earth would also be at zero volts so the voltage between SW and CB would be battery voltage.

This was may first thought but when I tried directly shorting out the points so that their condition didn't affect things there was still no change in the voltage.
Just wondering about the capacitor but I don't really understand how this works.
