If I understand you correctly, you measure the resistance of the wire from the coil positive side to the wire that goes to the ignition switch. It will not read 0. The wire from the coil positive to the engine connector is a resistor wire (ballast resistor). The wire from the engine connector to the ignition switch should be a plain wire. The reading you have seem to be low. In my 1964 GMC manual the V6 should be 1.5 Ohm.
