Ignition Trobuleshooting

Still won't fire and now the computer has a virus that I can't seem to fix so typing from my phone, what next!? Should I replace the ballast resistor on the firewall?
you can try jumpering it out, see if it starts, you don't want to run it long like that, it will burn up the points.
also, sorry if this is a stupid question, but do you know how to set up points? getting to be a lost art
