Maybe you should have a dropping resistor between the battery and the pos. terminal on the coil. Maybe you messed up something with the 12 volts?

Most 12volt point systems used a dropping resistor so there was only 6volts on the points. The resistor cuts the voltage in 1/2 at the coil and distributor cap also.

Have you considered reverting back to the correct 6-volts?
