the wire going to the distributer is connected to the points. they connect and dissconnect as the rotor turns. put a test light on the neg coil connection and crank the engine. does it blink? if not the wire is most likely grounded somewhere

Like @extech says - I made the mistake in the past of installing the condensor with the terminal end contacting the stator plate - oops no spark due to grounding out the coil lead
