When you mention “check the coil” what are you referring to. I know the points and individual “coils” that go to each spark plug. I’m still leaning towards no spark. When my brother hits the starter my continuity test at each plug shows nothing.

I think we have a communications problem here. The coil others are referring to is the dome shaped black object on top of the distributor, which is bolted on the front of the engine with 3 bolts. This is usually the case unless a different engine has been installed or the distributor has been converted to use a can coil. I think a picture or two would be in order.
