Bad points, or bad condenser.  Put a plug wire directly to the coil, 
and ground the plug.  With the motor turned so the points are closed, 
use a small screwdriver to open the points.  You should get a spark...

If not, make sure the condenser is not shorted - and make sure the 
wires from Dist. to coil aren't broken or shorted somewhere.

Also check the wire that grounds the points plate to the distributor...
