Ignition Coil test

Greetings All ~
I was planning on a day working on little issues with my dad's 84 380SL, but it died before I could get it out of the garage and it won't restart.

It appears to have fuel, but no spark. In searching forums, I'm trying to rule out the coil, distributor, ignition module, etc. But I have a real simple question. One of the first tests was to ensure we had current into the + side of the coil. Interestingly enough, we also have 12V when we test the - side of the coil. Does this indicate our coil is shorted out internally?

Thanks!

Brad
