coil (+) - switched power or not?

I've been installing an MSD ignition box, which calls for an ignition switched power source. The instructions show that on a Ford, the wire is simply connected to what used to go to the positive side of the coil. I found the datsun positive coil lead (black with a white stripe), but when I test it against the ground for continuity my multimeter tells me that the circuit is closed even when the ignition switch is in the "off" position.

 

Is the coil (+) on a 78 280Z "always on?"

 

If it's not supposed to be, what might cause this short?

 

Thanks for looking,

Justin
