Engaging a coil split grounds out one of the pickup's two coils. So yes, you are basically turning the pickup into a single coil that is approximately half its humbucker operation output.

Ok. My electronics knowledge is almost as rusty as my guitar playing. I just looked up some schematics and that makes sense to me now.
That's also got me thinking that if my tone pot does nothing, then I probably have a bad capacitor. I'll have to put my multimeter on it when I get home. I'm not sure what is in there currently. I may have to replace that too. I noticed the Duncan wiring diagram has .047 uF, but I know .022 uF is very common as well. Another thing I guess I could potentially experiment with.

Update:
Got all my parts, cleaned this poor old guitar up, put in some Alpha and Omega pups, push-pull pots, toggle switch, and input jack. Complete rewire.
Old wiring:
Ready to put the new stuff in:
Got her all wired up:
Ready to rock!
She is sounding better than ever!
