1965 Barn Find Dart starting issues

Cleaned the points and rotor last night, still nothing. For all I know they might not be at the right specs. How do you spark test the coil? I brought up the plugs being bad idea but I find it hard to believe all are without spark. I'm an idiot so you're gonna have to remind me what two things do I touch together to Hotwire the car?
Run a jumper from the + side of the Batt to the + side of the coil. Hotwired. It does not have to be a large gauge wire, 14 or 16 will work. AWG.
