The Green/Black wire from the fusebox shows 12V only when disconnected from the coil. If I reattach, reading drops to around 7V.

Does this mean that the coil is shot?
No. It means that the points are closed and the green/black wire can't supply enough voltage - either because there's corroded connectors or the ignition switch is NG.
With the ignition switch on and the coil hooked up, what is the voltage at the top of fuse #5? If it's battery voltage, the green/black wire connectors are dirty. If it's not battery voltage, the ignition switch is NG.
