About two decades ago my Datsun 510 died once from lack of spark.  
The outside of the dizzy had a spade connector for the lead to the 
coil.  The connector was held in place by a screw going through the 
dizzy body to the points wire.  Low tension voltage was detectable by 
voltmeter on the lead from the coil but not on the points wire.  The 
contact between screw and connector was so corroded that no electrons 
got through.  It didn't look corroded or rusty though.  A thorough 
cleaning made everything okay again.
