Your saying no spark at the spark plugs? Did you visually check for spark at the spark plugs, engine cranking? Did you check for voltage at the coil? Points and timing are part of a tune-up. Does the rotor turn when you crank it?

What about fuel?

Just to add, the positive side of the coil gets voltage from ignition switch.

Do you think the coil wire is ok? If you use a testlite on the negative side of coil, does it pulse, when cranking?
