Should be a point distributor.

If there is power to the points in both run and start position on the key, but no spark, replace the condensor.

If the points are sparking, check for spark from the coil to distributor cap. If none, but power to the coil, replace the coil.

or just throw all that crap away and put an HEI in it. It'll save you tons of time and money in the long run
