Left my ignition on 3-4 days. Battery was dead. Could I also have ruined my points?

I'd be more concerned about the coil, they don't much like overheating .... I don't think the points would be bothered if they were full open or closed, but easy enough to look, and hit'em with a points file .... if it starts and runs with the battery recharged, drive'er wink

That's what I'm doing. So far, so good.
