Ignition Points Tech Question

Easy,its points. Set distributor so a flat is aligned with rubbing block. Leave a little gap between rubbing block and flat on distributor. After cleaning points with very fine paper followed with a clean piece of paper,printer paper works. Need to be clean.
Battery hot to coil,other side of coil to points, points to engine ground. Check breaker plate for a ground strap,or the possibility that its missing. If, all this is correct there is no reason it wont fire. Unless rotor is burned through. I resurrected a 27 studebaker that hadnt run in 35 years,making it spark was the easy part.
