Todd,
Run a wire directly from the hot side of your battery to the + terminal of
your coil. Put a spark plug wire directly into the coil with a plug resting
on some part of the engine for a ground. Open the distributer and manually
open the points. If the coil is good, you will get spark at the plug. If you
don't, check your points installation for unintended grounding.
