So I have been having troubles getting spark, even after replacing the entire ignition system (dist., cap, rotor, coil, wires and plugs). Finally found out that the coil keeps frying. I turned the ignition to on today and the coil made a high pitched/bareley audible electrical singing noise. Then I went ot start it via my engine bay starter switch and no start or spark...again. Ugh!
Why in the world would my coil be taking a dive? This was a new coil.
I have 12.5 volts to the coil with ignition on and 10.5 when it's cranking. Everything is grounded from what I can tell.
BTW I just assume at this point that it was the coil. I am taking the coil and Ignition Cont. Mod. to Auto Zone tonight to verify that it was the coil...again.
Any suggestions or help will be very much appreciated. I have trying crack this problem for almost 2 weeks now.

Not sure I foolow the wuestion exactly about the grounding. It is grounded internally...meaning it has a ground wire that comes off of the coil pack that is held down by the coil retaining screws and there is a plate/tab/strap thing that goes from the coil body to the connector area, so when the three pin connector peice is in place, that grounding plate/tab/strap is in that connector. So basically yes I do to your grounding question. Thanks for the reply BTW.
