Car starting issues are driving me crazy!

It is getting 11.75 in run (position before start) and about 9.5 when I crank it.
Is it possible that the points got burned out from getting that 11.75 constantly? Why is it doing that?

 

Yes sir I did, I also checked and when the car is off they get no voltage, so its only 12 temporarily when its in the run position. I called the guy from the shop that I just picked it up from yesterday, he said that brand new points and condensor with ballast resistor were put in and that the reason why the car is having such a hard time starting up is cause its been sitting for about a month and that even when they tried to start it up yesterday they had to charge it for a while and jump it to get it going. Which may be true because when they had replaced all that I went to the shop a couple times and it would start right up no problem.
It is only about a 5 minute drive from his shop to my house so maybe it just wasn't enough time for the battery to juice up all the way.
So I took the battery back to the auto store and told them to do a SLOW charge cause its one of those optima red top gel ones and they had done a quick charge. Hopefully the results are good.

 

Is there a Buick freak near you? I know this has to be something simple that anyone experienced in old Buicks could diagnose and fix pretty quickly. Troubleshooting is hard over the internet.

 

The battery charging got it started, then took it around for about a 15 minute drive and let it idle for about 5 more. We'll see if it actually starts tomorrow though.
The only thing is, I tested the coil while running, the one side with the red wire going to it (im assuming its positive), is getting 14, while the the side with the purple wire and condensor going to it was getting 6.
Does that 14 mean I should be worried about the points burning out quickly or that I should put a ballast resistor somewhere in line?
If so how do I do that?

 

Just went outside to start it again. Guess what... didnt start. This is ridiculous

 

Not starting. Wondering if I should just go pick up a trickle charger and leave it on all night

 

Could it be a flaky coil making a weak spark?

Seems like the coils that are made to work with points don't like the full 12 volts.

 

it was turning kinda slow, and judging by how quick it started with that other charge id like to eliminate the easiest things first if possible

 

I charged it all night, it smells really gassy when i tried to start it(i only pumped it twice) and it didnt start. I don't know why. And my choke doesn't ever close all the way, or open whether or not i pump the gas pedal if that means anything

 

I went and inspected my carb along with my chassis manual, after reading and what i saw i think there is something wrong with that whole system.
After all, maybe it being jumped all the time just gave it enough time to pump it till it just started?
Any specific things to look for?
Also, there is a square opening in the back of my carb that looks like it should have a cover on it cause there is a screw hole on the top and bottom, but there is no cover, is this something wrong?

 

It reads 12 while it is in the run position NOT RUNNING, I didn't make that clear in my last posting, sorry.

 

You said to check by bumping the starter? I bumped it several times and tested after
