So what is the output from the coil? As suggested, making and breaking the (+) side the of the coil should throw a spark. Disconnect the primary wire from the distributor and hold it a half inch or so from a good ground. Disconnect the coil to distributor wire ( the + side) and with the hot wire (-) connected to the coil, touch the (+) side of the coil wire to ground and remove. You should get a spark, if not something is wrong with the coil.
