You are on the right track. If you have 6v at the points and no spark when you crack open the points with the switch on, then you likely need new points. That has been my experience. I've tried filing, sanding, wiping with a dollar bill on old dark points, and no spark. Install new points and and all is well. . You can hold the coil wire that plugs into the distributor cap near a head nut and you should get a nice blue spark.
