I just pulled off the resistor wire off the + side of the coil and got 11.60v


Opening the circuit like that will always get you the battery voltage, no matter the value of the resistor.

My suggestion would be to get rid of the resistor (wire), install a 12V coil - like a Lucas Sport Coil or a blue Bosch coil - and a Pertronix Ignitor-II. You will not regret it, and the tach will still work. No points to set ever again, and easier starting.
