Welcome A2Z143!
Assuming this is a front mount distributor...
You did remove the distributor to work on it?
That's the easiest way, it will only go back one way, so no chance to get it so far out of time it won't start. I like to wire it up to the battery so I can bench test it before reinstalling.
With either a front distributor, or a side distributor, the following will still apply.
You can test the coil with an ohm meter. Checking across the primary connections, you should get about 1.5 ohms for a 6v, 3 ohms for a 12v. If it checks open, or the case is split, the coil is bad.
Another method to test the coil, with the ignition on, power to the coil, ground the other primary terminal. It should draw a spark, and the coil will fire when the ground is removed. If no spark, no fire, the coil is bad.
To test the points, put a test light or volt meter on the point side of the coil to ground. With power on the coil, points open, should get near battery volts/test light on. Points closed, get zero volts/test light off.
