Are these volts normal?

Trying to figure out why It won't start.

I'm getting:
12.4 volts from the battery.
11.90 volts from the ignition wire connecting to distributor with key "on".
7-8 volts from the ignition wire while cranking.


are any of these numbers out of range? Problem is no spark.

got done testing the coil...

primary resistance was normal but couldn't pick up a reading for the secondary resistance. Does this mean that I need a new coil?
