Flicking the points with a screwdriver may give you a false indication, as you may be covering up a bad or dirty set of points.

Just unclip the brass leads at the dizzy cap and move them about 1/8th inch away from terminal on cap.

Wind motor over, you should see a fat spark jumping across each gap.

This will prove spark as far as the plugs without dismantling anything.
