There are systematic ways to diagnose this, but they take too long to
type. See almost any repair manual.
However, if I were you I would attempt to leapfrog all the systematic
stuff, by cleaning and regapping the points, or replacing them altogether.
They can develop high resistance if the car's been sitting. There is a
good chance that will do it. If that does not work then you can get
systematic.
