there is no power to the coil.

make sure you have power to the CD unit
make sure the points are providing a ground and removing the ground.
removing the ground is what fires the CD unit.
it can also be the wire from the dist to the CD. you can test the CD by grounding and removing the points signal at the CD unit.
check the grounding from the engine to the CD unit

the CD should also make a whining sound. if it does not it is bad. if it does it can still be bad.
the problem can also be a bad coil.

about the only other thing I know of to do after this is swap in a good coil and CD
