Answer
You say you have power going into the coil; you should have 9-12V on the (+) side of the coil when the key is on. The ignition contact points, as they open and close cause the spark to come out of the secondary wire (large wire) from the coil to the distributor cap.
If you do have power at the (+) side of the coil, and the ignition points are properly adjusted with a good condensor, the (-) side of the coil should have a fluctuating Voltage while cranking. If you don't youhave a problem with the points/condensor circuit.
Don't forget to check your secondary wiring. (spark plug wires)
