It might be your ballest wire, its a special power wire for the coil, which steps the voltage down as a full 12volts will destroy a set of points quick. [member that if you ever upgrade, don't use stock wiring for anything but points.]

you can however wire it up yourself, run a test wire right from the battery post to coil, fine for a test to give it a full 12volts, points are cheap, car will keep running till that wire is removed.

Now if that works, you need to do some wiring, could even be just a faulty Ign key switch, as the coil power is keyed. But it will help cue ya in.
