I'd be "looking at" a good battery charge the first thing, that may be allllllll she needs. If the points arent burned or carboned over they may be okay. Of course, leaving the ignition on may have overheated n harmed the coil, the other Id be "looking at" would be to see if the coils primary (between its lil + and - terminals) still has continuity (not burned open). An ohmmeter should show around 1.25 to under 2 ohms if its a 6 volt coil,,,,,,,,,of course, if it reads an open circuit its badddddddd..
Put a test pamp on the coils input (from ign switch) n turn her on and a test lamp or voltmeter should read hot voltage. Then place it over on the output (to distributor) terminal and there should be near zero volts when points are closed but hot battery voltage when points are open UNLESS the coils primary is burned open
