Have a 1979 318 ci dodge motor and I am not getting fire out of the coil, but have power on + side and - side o0f coil

check out the link for the firing order. Lots more on the images tab. Number 1 on the distributer cap is at 11 o'clock.

The firing order for v6 is 165432
The driver side cylinder bank is numbered from front to rear-- 2-4-6
The passenger side cylinder bank is numbered from front to rear 1-3-5
The picture is for your coil pack, hopefully. So you can see how the coil towers are numbered.
My database for 09 showed coil on plug ignition. Is this the original engine?
I did see info for 07--3.7L that did appear to show a coil pack in tune-up manual.

Could be a bad coil, or a bad pickup coil inside the distributor, or worst case a bad pcm.

You said the coil is good, but didn't mention if you had tested the coil's primary and secondary circuits with an ohmmeter to see if they are within specs? And the pickup coil is like a crank position sensor: it tells the pcm crankshaft position and rpm so the computer can determine spark timing.

Without a voltmeter and a wiring diagram, you're in a bit of a fix. But I would be wondering why the ignition switch isn't sending power to the coil primary positive terminal, and why it isn't causing the fuel pump to be turned on, too.
Is your check engine light on with key on? The computer should sense ignition is on and briefly turn on the fuel pump through the fuel pump relay, on just long enough to pressurize the fuel line to the injector. But no fuel or fire-you'd better start by checking if the ignition switch has power in and power out, and work your way to the coil.

change the distrbutor cap and rotor
if its a newer model you will need to change the coil pack
when it gets hot the coil is getting hotand loosing contactand
and you end op with a low or no spark from the coil pack

could be if the engine is not getting voltage from the ignition switch. take a test light and check for battery voltage at the coil and module when you turn the switch on.

The negative side of the coil goes to ground. The positive side goes to the ballast resistor. The other side of the ballast resistor connects to the ignition switch. More information might be had on manualsonline.com.

you can have a bad coil wire
or ecu (engine control unit),,,computer
or a bad hall affects plate in the distributer
