Check for positive power at the + terminal on the coil with the key on. If so then you have a problem with the points like being dirty, not closing or opening. If you don't have power at the + coil terminal, with the key on, then a fuse or the ignition switch or wiring is bad.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
