Need help till my Haynes manual arrives No Spark

So I don't know 911's at all, but I picked up a "barn find". It's been in a shed for the last 15 yrs. PO quit driving it because of clutch issues and parked it out in the country at his dads. 69 911 E targa

He drove it into the shed so it in theory should run.

I pulled the old batterys and cleaned up the mess from the battery acid and cleaned all the front connections. Put in new batterys. Pulled the spark plugs and squirted in some Marvel Mystery oil. Figured what the heck, stuck the key in and it cranked over fine.

Spark plugs back in. Poured some gas down the stacks (about 1 oz each) and gave it another spin. No coughs or sputters. Pulled a plug back out and tested it, no spark. Tryed it wth a known good one, nothing. Poped the dist cap and points open and close. Going to swap the coil tomorrow with another known good one.

If it's not the condensor, what else should I look at while I'm waiting for my Haynes manual ( and other parts) to arrive?
