You need to pull off one of your plug wires and see if it has fire from the plug wire while a helper makes an attempt to start the engine. Make sure the ignition switch is in the on position. If there's no fire remove the cap and have someone bump over the engine using the starter and you look at the rotor to see if its rotating. If it's rotating ok use some 320 wet or dry and clean the points then reinstall the cap & try another start attempt.
If there's still no fire from the plug wire use a test lite or a volt meter set on DC volts and with the points open & the ignition switch on check for battery voltage on both small terminals on your coil if you have a distributor. If there's no voltage you need to check your ignition switch. With the switch in the on position see if there's voltage at the terminal that feeds your coil. If there's voltage there you have a broken wire somewhere between your switch & Coil. Just install a new wire.
If there's no voltage on that terminal check the terminal that feeds voltage to your switch. If you have voltage to the switch and none out you have a bad switch. Hal PS: If there's no voltage to your switch replace the wire that feeds battery voltage to it. Check the connections they may be loose.
