71 Dart newbee

Much appreciated, Stock points, dist. Did not notice any gauges working other than the oil light. ignition and key do not mate very well but it unlocks, turns and when turned forward to start ...My 12v Test light gets lit at the solenoid. I have 12v at the starter solenoid but have never had power at the secondary or small wire from solenoid to starter.
Would having a bad distributor result in NO test spark or secondary coil voltage?
