In an attempt to make it difficult to "hot wire" a car, many makes either directly connected the coil to the ignition switch, or connected them with a wire inside a tamper-proof steel shield; this was typical construction thru the just postwar era. Coils do fail and that's why I suggested temporarily installing a universal 6-volt coil and hot wiring it, just to eliminate the old coil and/or switch as a source of possible problem.
