Yep, that is my first thought too. Does it have a resistor wire instead or ballast resistor? Next check that you are getting voltage to coil with the key in the on (run) position not the start position.
I take it you are still runnig points. Change the condenser if all the rest checks out.
You can run a 12v wire to the coil (+ side) to test. Only for a few seconds, plenty of time to see if it runs.
If you can't get it to run, get my phone number from Ben or Sean and give me a call.
Check PM.
