How about a pic?

most likely, the points are oxidized. File ( or sand paper) them. Coils don't usually go bad just sitting. disconnect the coil wire at the distributor, and use a test light to see if they are

Some have the Serial Number on the frame rail behind the front passenger wheel. Again not a lot of them and it is very faint when you find one.

John What is the body style cc or cd? There have been a number of cars sold through the years that have had other Vin placed on them. There was a whole group sold in the recent past at a reputable

If you had a condenser laying around you could try it to see if you get spark. It should still work. It would just be the wrong capacitance or won't have the correct mounting bracket but you are just
