Check for rocker arm movement first. If they're not moving, the gear at the front of the camshaft has lost a few teeth. The distributor has EVERYTHING to do with the coil producing a spark. The points are the switch that turns the coil primary winding on and off. If the distributor doesn't turn, you'll get no spark at all.
