Hopefully the condensor is the problem. Bad condensor doesn't usually stop spark unless it's shorted out [rare].
Good luck.

Ignition problems, bad coil? or is there something else that could be up?

You can disconnect the condenser and run the engine briefly, it is there to protect the points long term. Why do you think the condenser is bad?

So at this point, I have replaced both the condenser and the coil (it was time to fire the parts cannon) and still no spark. With the new coil on the negative I am not getting any voltage. So I am at a complete loss at this point. 12v into the coil, nothing out
are you sure the points are closing properly?
If you disconnect the neg wire from the coil, using a meter, you should get continuity between that wire and ground when the points are closed. And no continuity when the points are open.
