yes, and if it does, that means your coil is bad, b/c you already mentioned you are getting 12 volts to the other side.

I know it should be noticeable if when first turning it over, I'm not sure if when an engine is running or not if its noticeable because it would be doing it so fast the light might would look steady then, but I'm not sure but either case it won't matter to you because you will be checking it while trying to crank.
