For a SIMPLE repair, run a length of insulated primary wire (16 GA should work) from the special screw facing upward on the breaker plate, to the breaker points. That screw, which the "spring thingy" at the base of the coil sits on, the condensor, and the breaker points MUST all have a common connection for the system to produce spark. Also, some breaker point sets have a copper strip that parallels the steel spring. If you have an old set up points like that, you can use the copper strip to make a replacement for the broken strip. That being said, for this application, there is nothing "magical" about the OEM copper strip, and, electrically, the insulated wire I first suggested will perform equally well as replacing the copper strip with a new one. Or, if all of this is frustrating, you can get a complete new breaker plate from one of the "N" parts suppliers that will include the copper strip.
