Is there spark? I've had a set of ignition points fail and leave me with no spark before. They were relatively new, too. Walked to the local parts store (A&A) and got a generic set of points that fit to get me around until I picked up another set of Bosch ones.
Otherwise, it could be a dead ignition box, loose ballast resistor connection, bad coil... but check the spark, then start with the points!

And set the points to 0.014" or whatever the number is - a business card thickness works. Good luck
