In general, what I look for is the following:
Might be rotor. Remove diz cap. turn on ignition IN NEUTRAL. Place
quarter-sized coin across the center terminal of cap and one of the plug
terminals. Pop the points with an insulated screwdriver. If you get
spark this way, but not with it all back together, the rotor is bad.
Other possibilities:
Bad ignition switch.
Coil. Make sure the coil is getting 12v.
Points setting gone bad.
Timing wrong Diz might have moved.
BUT --
If he's right that there's no 12v to points - that's where to search out
the disconnect.
Work back from the diz.
