No spark (if I read that right)? How's the ballast resisitor, is the ground lead from thre breaker plate to the dizzy housing still good? Are you getting power to the ballast? (asuming here your coil isn't the internal ballast type, if it is, disregard that)?

Take the cap off and turn it over to see if the points are sparking or not.
If not, use a test light to determine if you have power going from the coil to the distributor.
If there's power at the coil, but no spark at the points, it's probably the condenser or very worn points.
