Are you sure you have those points nice and shiny?
The gap set at .013"? If they are shiny and gapped at .013" I would replace the condenser and then see if there's fire.

An easy way to rule out the magnets is to touch them with a flatblade screwdriver and see if they attract that screwdriver with some effort. The magnets are what creates your spark as they pass by the coil. Hal
